Solo Brands—owner of Solo Stove, Oru Kayak, and more—announces IPO
Only incorporated since June and currently PE-backed, the platform is already preparing to go public as it looks to leverage the success of its four outdoor brands.
I’m a Colorado-based business journalist who covers breaking news, economic insights, market trends, and M&A across the outdoor and snowsports industries.
My day job is senior editor for Modern Distribution Management, a wholesale distribution media company, but my side hustle is part-time business editor for Outside Business Journal, the premier B2B trade publication for outdoor, snow sports, and adventure travel news. My OBJ clips can be found here.
Before that, I was a senior business editor for the B2B trade publication SGB Media. You can view my SGB oeuvre by clicking here.
Below you'll find my latest work, or please visit my portfolio page for a more comprehensive look at my writing, including clips from OBJ, MDM, SGB, past jobs and even a few side hustles. Also, be sure to connect with me on LinkedIn and follow on Twitter (feed is at the bottom of the page).
Hit me up anytime at ericsmithwriter@gmail.com.
Cheers!
PS: I was named the winner of the 2020 Harold S. Hirsch Award for Words, a writing honor from the North American Snowsports Journalists Association (NASJA). The link will take you to the winning portfolio.
