From Mold to Market: The Outdoor Gear Company Built by Adventures

Business Plan

More For Sports will manufacture and sell proprietary plastic accessories in the fast-growing outdoor recreation market.

Revenue will come from three channels:

• Direct-to-consumer (via our upcoming online store)

• Wholesale to niche gear retailers

• Licensing patented designs to larger brands

Because we build our own molds in-house, we dramatically reduce production costs and maintain full control over quality and customization. Our margins are projected at 60–70%.

As we scale, we’ll expand into new product verticals and partner with distribution networks in the U.S. and abroad.

Team

Nathan Tyler, Founder & Lead Designer
With 30 years in plastic manufacturing, Nathan has built molds for major brands—but always had bigger ideas of his own. His love for outdoor sports fuels his designs, each one crafted from firsthand experience in the field.

Natalie, Product Development & Marketing
A 15-year apprentice under Nathan, Natalie brings technical precision and creative flair. She helps finalize designs, leads testing, and will drive marketing and customer research as we launch our brand.

Together, they’re a powerhouse duo: builders, tinkerers, and users—finally making gear for people like themselves.

Competitive Advantage

Unlike typical startups, we already own the manufacturing infrastructure.

Our in-house mold-building capabilities give us:

• Complete design freedom

• Faster prototyping with 3D printing

• Lower production costs

• Built-in scalability

Most importantly, we’re not guessing at what the market needs—we’ve lived it. These are real solutions to real problems in niche outdoor categories with very few competitors.

Why Now

More For Sports is at a major inflection point.

For decades, we’ve built the tools that helped other companies succeed. Now it’s time to build for ourselves.

Consumer demand for specialty, high-performance gear is exploding—especially for unique, customizable accessories that traditional brands don’t offer.

We’ve done the hard part: tested prototypes, CAD designs, and manufacturing prep. All we need is the capital to make the shift from service provider to product company.
