Otter Pass founder Jonathan Goudeau grew up fishing with his dad and his brothers in the Pantanal—the wetlands in far west Brazil. There, Jonathan and his brothers learned from their dad how to hook piranhas, how to avoid the reeds where alligators hid, how to spot spider monkeys at dawn, and how to listen for the wing-beats of the jaburu.
Read along in the start-up journey of co-founders Jonathan and Jessica as they prepare the booth for the first Otter Pass event: the SXSW Marketplace in Austin, March 15-17.
Otter Pass is proud to have worked with Circle & Line to provide jobs for refugees this holiday season; 10% of every Otter Pass product will always go toward helping refugees in Austin.
The founder ofOtter Pass, Jonathan, had the worst habit of insisting that his cargo pants, at least 10 years out of style, were still necessary in order to be a good father.
