According to CNBC, high-end camping company AutoCamp completed a $1.2 million crowdfunding raise in less than 30 days this month through the DealMaker platform, with 353 investors—many of them past guests—participating. The company reported room revenue up 20% year-over-year and 90% occupancy across its nine U.S. locations heading into the Fourth of July weekend, with average daily rates up 15%.
Investors in the crowdfunding round gain equity stakes alongside special perks, such as booking discounts and gift cards. DealMaker noted the round was one of the fastest it has seen, reflecting strong early investor interest as hospitality brands increasingly leverage customer-to-shareholder models.
