In this episode, Ramon Vela dives into the inspiring entrepreneurial journey of Aaron Ambuske, Founder of Hest.

 

Eight years ago, Aaron set out to revolutionize outdoor sleeping solutions by creating products that bring the comfort of home mattresses to the great outdoors.

 

Supported by family, investors, mentors, and friends, Aaron navigated startup challenges to develop innovative products.

 

He started by targeting the premium car camper market, which capitalized on trends like increased outdoor activities and the digital nomad lifestyle, solidifying its market position.

 

Aaron placed a strong emphasis on design and sustainability, ensuring user satisfaction and eco-friendly practices through careful material choices, product longevity, and sustainable packaging. 

 

The company's product range includes foamy camp pads, versatile travel pillows, and innovative comforters with unique features like a foot box to prevent sliding. Engaging with the community and promoting the mental health benefits of nature, Hest enhances customer experiences by focusing on sleep quality, temperature regulation, practicality, and exceptional customer service.

 

Join us as Aaron Embuskey takes us through Hest’s journey of creating high-quality outdoor products that ensure a comfortable and restful night’s sleep, no matter where your adventures take you.
