STARTUP
camp it simple
The idea is simple: develop a set, which everyone can plug into every car without changing the car itself. So, the concept can also be used in car-sharing vehicles, as it does not adapt the vehicle itself. This means that customers don’t have to buy an additional camper vehicle, can use the set for other activities, and can focus on getting out. The sets are from partially recycled PET, recycled leather, and FSC certified wood. The set can be reduced to the small size and sent with regular package services.
camp it simple's Story
Dr. Eric Söhngen worked as a physician in a hospital – when he realized the need for Camp it Simple. While he spent days and nights taking care of patients – he had to, somehow, organize his leisure time on the days off.
At the end of 2019 camp it simple had a shift in leadership with Maximilian Karmann taking over as CEO from our founder Eric. Maximilian decided to exchange “business travel” with “adventure” after 5 years in strategy consulting. Since Max loved the idea and product initiative of Camp it Simple, he joined and is now driving the business on all fronts. The sustainability approach is not a necessary evil, but one of the major reasons for leaving consulting was to change the traveling lifestyle to a more sustainable one. Max’s focus on further developing the products lies in improving the sustainability element (e.g. increasing the recycled PET ratios) for the product.
