Discovery

GoPro Inc was started when the founder, Nicholas Woodman, went for a surfing trip to Indonesia and Australia. When he was unable to use the bulky camera he had to capture images and videos of him surfing, Nicholas decided to do something about it.

He started raising capital for his venture by selling belts and fashionable camera straps made from shells and beads out of his Volkswagen van. He also took a loan of around $230,000 from his parents to start his camera manufacturing company and started Woodman Labs in 2002.
