Why PARKIT is the Outdoor Seating Brand Investors Shouldn’t Miss

By any measure, PARKIT is not just building a product; it’s creating a movement.

For decades, the outdoor seating category has remained an afterthought. Consumers have been forced to settle for flimsy, forgettable chairs that tear, rust, or buckle under the pressure of a weekend at the beach or a long day at the soccer field. Meanwhile, other gear categories—such as coolers, drinkware, and grills—have experienced complete reinvention. Brands like YETI ($1.8B market cap), Stanley ($750M+), and Traeger ($488M) have reshaped consumer expectations around design, quality, and performance. The chair category, however, has lagged behind. Until now.

PARKIT is rewriting the narrative. At a time when lifestyle and utility must coexist, PARKIT is emerging as the category-defining brand for outdoor seating, and they’re inviting you to be part of the journey.

A Brand Built for the Moment

The outdoor chair market is projected to reach $2.8 billion by 2032, growing at 7.25% CAGR, with youth sports alone accelerating at a 10.8% CAGR (Data Intello: Outdoor Folding Chair Market Global Industry Analysis - Size, Share, Growth | 2023). These aren’t just macro tailwinds; they’re signals of a seismic consumer shift. People are investing in products that reflect their values: quality, sustainability, community, and a desire for adventure. PARKIT meets that moment with engineering precision and design ethos that speaks to a generation craving experiences over excess.

With over 60,000+ units sold lifetime, $3.5M+ in revenue in 2024, and a 180% year-over-year revenue growth through June 2025 vs the same period last year, PARKIT is proving its momentum. Looking ahead, the company is forecasting a 55% revenue CAGR, driving toward a 13% EBITDA margin by 2027 with further growth into 2028 as distribution channels continue expanding.

Forward-looking projections are not guaranteed.

The result: PARKIT is building a high-growth, profit-focused brand. The Voyager and Eclipse chairs are protected by utility and design patents, and have been embraced across DTC, wholesale, and corporate gifting channels. With over 1,000 five-star reviews and distribution spanning three continents, PARKIT has already achieved the holy grail of consumer goods: product-market fit.

Iconic Product. Infinite Use Cases.

From the mountains to the coastlines, youth sports fields to music festivals, PARKIT’s chairs are designed to go where people go. Their flagship models, Voyager and Eclipse, combine aerospace-grade aluminum frames with insulated storage, ergonomic design, hands-free carry functionality, and a modular accessory system. The result: a seat that doesn’t just support your body, it supports the moment.

This approach isn’t just resonating with consumers. It’s working across channels.

• Retail: PARKIT is currently in REI, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Scheels with plans to expand into 750+ specialty stores by 2027.
• Direct-to-Consumer: Through its high-margin eCommerce channel, PARKIT drives the bulk of it's business online, which is currently up 83% vs same period in 2024.
• B2B: With partners like Volkswagen, Corona, Tito’s, and Pacifico, PARKIT has earned a foothold in the $26B corporate gifting space.
• International: After launching in Australia, the company is expanding into Canada and Europe, with $1M+ in international revenue projected by 2027.

The momentum is clear. The product is proven. And the market has only just begun to realize its full potential.

Designed for the Mindset, Not the Demographic

PARKIT’s customers aren’t defined by zip code—they’re united by a mindset. They’re explorers, seekers, and community-builders. Whether they’re surfers in San Diego, hunters in Arkansas, or vanlifers in Colorado, they share one thing in common: they won’t settle for less.

That’s why PARKIT is proud to note the diversity of distribution across the country. PARKIT products are making their way from the desert to the lakeshore, from the ball field to the mountain top, and from the tailgate to the coastline, because great design travels, especially when it meets the real-world needs of consumers across the continent.

The Founders

And perhaps most importantly, PARKIT is doing it without sacrificing soul. It’s a business rooted in shared values: presence, independence, responsibility, and connection. At its core, PARKIT is a brand for people who live with intention, those who seek out the sunrise, embrace the long trail, and gather with meaning around the fire.

That vision comes to life through its founders, Steven and Lauren Wilcox, a husband-and-wife team uniquely equipped to lead PARKIT into its next chapter of growth.

Steven brings deep experience from the consumer goods world, having spent time at Oakley and Quiksilver, where he developed a deep understanding of premium branding, product storytelling, and building community through gear. Lauren’s leadership journey spans across industries, with standout roles at First American Insurance and the Director of Partnerships at Hippo, both publicly traded insurance companies, where she drove national revenue growth, led high-performing teams, and forged joint ventures with the country’s largest builders.

While PARKIT marks a shift from corporate life, their experience is anything but disconnected. It’s what gives them their edge: the strategic discipline of big business paired with the grit and agility of founders who’ve built something from scratch.

But more than that, PARKIT reflects who they are. For Steven and Lauren, the chair is more than a product; it’s a conduit for connection. It’s about watching their son dig for sand crabs at the beach, cheering on his first home run, or unwinding together at sunset on the dock. They’ve built this company to elevate those moments, for themselves and for others. Because when gear is built to last, the memories made with it do too.

The Result

From the beginning, PARKIT has been more than a business, it’s been a mission. Steven and Lauren built this company from the ground up, and that founder-led passion continues to fuel its growth. But a great product story only matters if it resonates, and PARKIT does.

What started around a campfire has now caught fire in the market.

With a product that’s sold over 60,000+ units, earned 1,000+ five-star reviews, and attracted a nationwide community of adventurers, families, and explorers, PARKIT is proving that utility, style, and soul can coexist.

That same energy is mirrored behind the scenes. The team includes operators, advisors, and industry veterans from companies like Stance, Oakley, Quiksilver, Roxy, Free Fly - people who believe in PARKIT’s long-term potential and have the track records to help realize it.

Whether it’s customers spreading the word, ambassadors sharing stories, or partners aligning around shared values, PARKIT is attracting people who want to be part of something bigger. Something built to last in both product and mission.
