We see many innovative products at KineticShift.com, and while we truly respect the nature of making a profit we also were quite moved by the story behind Cotopaxi. Davis and Asialene Smith launched the outdoor brand not only as a business to make money, but also to improve the human condition and assist the more than one billion people who live in extreme poverty.
The Utah-based company is a new “one for one” startup where proceeds from purchases are used to help those in need. For example, the purchase of a water bottle from Cotopaxi will help provide a child in India with access to water for six months. The video above allows the Smiths to tell their story in their own words.
