Why most outdoor DTC brands plateau
We work with a lot of DTC brands in the outdoor space, and almost every one of them hits a wall around €5–10M ARR. The reason is rarely the product. It's that they've optimized one channel (usually Meta) for a single audience archetype, and they keep buying the same customer at an ever-rising cost. Nordvél was in that exact pattern when we came in. Their creative was strong, their product was loved, but their growth engine was monochrome.
