Summary
Campertunity, co-founded by Nora Lozano, is Canada's first camping-focused shared economy platform. With a background in engineering and a love for nature, Nora aimed to ease the process of finding and booking campsites. The platform allows landowners to list their land for camping, offering unique experiences like yoga classes, horseback riding, and farm tours. Campertunity faced challenges in development and marketing, but has grown to over 400 users and 50 listings, with plans for future expansion.

Unique Aspect
Campertunity differentiates itself by incorporating camping into the shared economy, offering unique, private camping experiences on land listed by owners.

Approach to kick off
The platform was initiated based on the founders' personal camping experiences and challenges in finding quality campsites, coupled with the rise of the shared economy concept.

Business Model Viability
The model has potential, especially with increasing interest in unique outdoor experiences, but challenges like seasonality and market expansion need to be addressed.

Aims to reach 1,000 users and 100 listings by end of 2019, and generate $100,000 per year in 5 years. Expansion beyond Canada is a possibility.
