Khue Dau

I'm the founder of RetkiGo, a community-driven marketplace that makes outdoor activities more accessible by enabling people to rent and share outdoor gear locally. The idea came from my own experience after moving to Finland. I wanted to try hiking and camping, but buying equipment was expensive, and finding rental options was inconvenient. I realized many people own gear that sits unused most of the year, while others are eager to explore nature but face financial and accessibility barriers. I'm currently studying Environmental Technology at LUT University and building RetkiGo through the FORWARD startup accelerator. My background in customer service and marketing has helped me understand user needs and communicate with early adopters. I'm passionate about creating products that encourage people to spend more time outdoors while making better use of existing resources through sharing.
