Company mission
To rescue humanity from the indoors by connecting them with America’s top outdoor sport: fishing.
36% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
The eCommerce boom has allowed niche markets to bring their shopping and brand enterprises online. Catch Co. is one of these - a content and commerce platform serving fishing enthusiasts.
With its own product line and YouTube series, Catch Co. is swiftly modernizing this legacy market. It has seen impressive growth year-on-year, as well as securing strong funds that have enabled it to expand across product categories.
Fishing is already one of the most popular outdoor leisure activities in the US, and the number of hobbyists is on the rise. Catch Co.’s spirited and innovating approach marks it out as an exciting new platform, meaning it is well-placed to attract the growing number of young enthusiasts in the space.
