Collective Retreats Strategic Capital Raise

Assignment Overview

RobertDouglas advised Collective Retreats in raising a $23 million Series C funding round. The round was led by New York-based investment firm Fireside Investments, popular outdoor marketplace Outdoorsy and with participation from existing investors including Revolution's Rise of the Rest Seed Fund.

In addition, Collective Retreats is also entering a new strategic partnership with Outdoorsy, which will combine Collective’s outdoor hospitality expertise and innovative guest experience programming with Outdoorsy’s technology platforms and global reach.  

Collective Retreats plans to use this growth funding to fuel its mission to create dynamic destination retreats and enriching experiences that connect people to each other, to nature, and to themselves. The company has already acquired three new retreats in Vermont's Green Mountains, California's Sonoma County and Aspen, Colorado, and plans to open 25 new locations in the next four years.  The funding and growth plans reinforce the popularity of the rapidly emerging outdoor hospitality space.
