History
Peak Design was founded in 2010 by Peter Dering. Its first product, the Capture Camera Clip, was launched on Kickstarter in 2011, raising over $360,000.[1] Since then, Peak Design has launched multiple products through crowdfunding platforms, including the Everyday Backpack and Travel Tripod.[2][3][4] The company is notable for its continued reliance on Kickstarter (its 14th campaign launched in March 2025) for funding new product launches as a way to avoid the typical venture capital route that many other successful crowdfunded companies take.[5]

In 2020, Peak Design co-founded the Climate Neutral Certified label, encouraging companies to measure, reduce, and offset carbon emissions. This initiative has grown to include hundreds of companies globally.[10][11]

Controversies
In 2021 Peak Design accused Amazon for creating a copycat version of their Everyday Sling bag called, "Amazon Basics Everyday Sling".[15][16] Amazon later changed the name of the bag.[17]
After the killing of Brian Thompson, CEO of Peak Design, Peter Dering reported to police that the suspect was carrying a Peak Design backpack.[18] Dering and Peak Design received death threats after this reporting.[19][20] According to Dering, no private customer information was provided to the police.[21]
