Sojourner – “Four Star” Outdoor Hospitality
Sojourner delivers the comforts and service of a four-star resort in immersive natural settings. The brand bridges traditional luxury hospitality with outdoor adventure — offering high-end experiences without the friction of typical glamping, such as limited amenities or remote access issues.
Designed for families, corporate retreats, weddings, and groups, Sojourner focuses on experience consistency, operational scalability, and strong unit economics that appeal to strategic buyers in the hotel and resort space.
Together, they combine expertise in modular design, off-grid utilities, and luxury guest experience to build a new category of nature-based hospitality.
“Guests today seek genuine luxury seamlessly integrated with nature. We create experiences that don’t just photograph well — they feel exceptional from arrival to checkout, so guests return year after year.”
With scarcity of suitable land and growing demand for high-end outdoor retreats, Sojourner’s model builds a strong competitive moat. A stabilized flagship plus management-contract pipeline could attract experiential REITs or hotel groups adding “nature luxury” to their portfolios.
Ramble – Authentic Camping Experiences at Scale
Ramble, based in Colorado, is building a network of modern campgrounds located near major U.S. cities and national parks.
Founder Matt Oesterle was inspired to reimagine camping after a 2020 family road trip where most sites felt like parking lots. His goal: deliver comfort, space, and community — without losing the essence of being outdoors.
Ramble’s sites blend smart design, prefab efficiency, and data-driven site selection. Each campground offers spacious lots, clean facilities, and curated amenities that appeal to today’s outdoor travelers while keeping costs low.
Ramble uses a proprietary GIS siting algorithm that layers population data, weather patterns, dark-sky ratings, and county permitting data to identify high-yield sites that can be entitled and built within six months.Investment:
- First Fund: $2–6M equity per park with LP warrants in the management company
- Series A: $8M OpCo raise completed for technology, R&D, and marketing
- Exit Potential: Branded portfolios could attract consolidators such as Sun Outdoors or Equity Lifestyle Properties
“We’re building campgrounds that feel like nature, not parking lots. Every site is designed for simplicity, comfort, and repeatable excellence at scale.”
Ramble operates on the opposite end of the “outdoor hospitality barbell” from Sojourner — a high-volume, low-cost platform that delivers double-digit cash yields and scalable growth. It appeals to investors seeking steady returns with strong operational leverage.
