GPCA in the Spotlight – How a Small California Brand Made Big Waves

From Kickstarter Dreams to Must-Have Gear – The GPCA Journey

GPCA didn’t start in some fancy boardroom with a corporate strategy—nope, it started with a bunch of gearheads who wanted better tools for everyday life. A carabiner that actually does something? A wallet that isn’t just a glorified cardholder? A dog leash that doesn’t feel like an afterthought? Yeah, that’s where GPCA stepped in.

The media caught on pretty fast, and suddenly, Gizmodo, Business Insider, ABC News, and top EDC blogs were talking about the brand. But here’s the thing—it was YOU, the GPCA community, that made it happen.

The Media Took Notice – Here’s Why

GPCA didn’t just make products; it solved problems—and the gear world noticed. Here’s how some major outlets reacted:

🔹 Gizmodo & Yanko Design: “Wait, a carabiner that isn’t just a clip? And it looks cool? We’re in.” GPCA’s Carabiner PRO and GP Grip PRO got love for their smart, multi-functional designs.

🔹 Business Insider & ABC News: “From crowdfunding to best-selling gear”—GPCA’s Kickstarter success proved that people want gear that actually works.

🔹 Everyday Carry & Cool Material: GPCA’s United-1 Wallet and GP1945 Bolt Action Pen weren’t just practical—they were sleek, stylish, and built for real-life use.

🔹 TrendHunter & HiConsumption: When GPCA Dog Leash PRO and GP Back Grip PRO dropped, people realized pet gear and vehicle accessories could be smarter and tougher. About time, right?

The GPCA Community – The Real MVPs

Let’s be real—none of this hype would mean anything without the GPCA crew backing it up. That means you—the early backers, the everyday adventurers, the overlanders, the EDC enthusiasts—who saw the potential and helped make GPCA a reality.

🔹 Kickstarter Legends: You guys were there before it was cool, testing and shaping these products with real feedback. Without you, GPCA would just be another “what if” instead of an “oh hell yes.”

🔹 Adventurers, Builders, and Everyday Explorers: Whether you're scaling cliffs, wrenching on your Jeep, or just trying to keep your keys from disappearing into the abyss, GPCA gear became part of your daily routine.

🔹 Real-World Feedback = Better Gear: Every new feature, every tweak, every material upgrade? That’s because you told us what you wanted, and we listened.

At the end of the day, GPCA isn’t just a brand—it’s a movement of people who actually use their gear and demand better.
