About Us

Built to Venture – Gear for Life’s Great Journeys

At Built to Venture, we believe that life’s best moments happen when you step outside your comfort zone and into the world. Our mission is to create products that inspire exploration, spark meaningful conversations, and help you collect memories along the way.

We’re driven by a simple idea: the things you carry should carry meaning. Whether you’re traveling across the country, hiking a local trail, or revisiting a favorite spot, we design gear that’s not just functional—it’s part of your story.

Our Flagship Product

The U.S. Landmark Challenge Bottle is where our journey begins. Crafted from durable stainless steel and built to keep drinks hot or cold for hours, it’s more than a water bottle—it’s a personal adventure log. With 36 engraved iconic U.S. landmarks and matching stickers to apply after each visit, it transforms into a visual diary of your travels and a daily reminder of where you’ve been (and where you’re going next).

More Than Just Gear

Built to Venture is about encouraging people to live intentionally, explore deeply, and share their stories. We try our best to ensure our products are built to last and designed for those who believe that every day is an adventure. Our motto - "Never stop living." 

Join the Movement

Adventure is calling—and we’d love for you to be part of this one. Start with the U.S. Landmark Challenge water bottle, and see where the journey takes you. The long-term vision for BTV is so much bigger than what you see today, and we invite you to come alongside us on this journey.

Never stop living.
