Cheng Lin, founder of the wild children, lived in the United States for more than 10 years and was quite touched by the lifestyle of foreign families. Out of love for outdoor sports, plus many years of Internet work and entrepreneurial experience, Cheng Lin started development of the Wild Children Project in 2015. In early 2016, he registered a company in the United States. Currently, there are 7 team members, including 3 technical teams in Shenzhen, and a market and editorial team in Philadelphia, USA.

Search, activity, discovery, three aspects to build an outdoor sports platform covering the whole world At this stage, wild children mainly aim at user groups in North America and overseas regions, and gradually establish a destination database through web crawlers, etc., based on the user's geographical location and needs. Outdoor destination search, event organization, and recommendation sharing services. At the same time, Discovery Channel is set up to regularly publish outdoor sports strategy, technical dry goods, and talent interviews so that users at all levels can find an advanced guide that suits them.

Since the foreign destination data and model parameters are more complete and mature, and there are no websites in the country that provide information on outdoor destinations at the moment, in the initial stage, the team began to collect data from overseas, and after the model is perfected, domestic information is added on a large scale. Cheng Lin told Huntcloud.com (WeChat: ilieyun) that it will develop user UGC content to speed up data coverage and reduce corresponding costs.

Many overseas outdoor websites or related information are in English. For most domestic users, the reading threshold is high. In addition, the purchasing power of Chinese has gradually increased, and the demand for outdoor outdoor event organizations and merchants has expanded. However, the Chinese platform has not yet helped. Its docking, these are the pain points that the market urgently needs to solve. At present, the website has collected nearly 100,000 outdoor destinations, and has signed dozens of overseas outdoor sports businesses, gathering nearly 100 outdoor sports professionals and more than a hundred Chinese outdoor organizations, and will further promote them in overseas Chinese circles.

In terms of user experience, wild children will continue to improve their product interfaces, increase database information, and streamline search operations. At the same time, they will enrich the categories of activities around various interests. In addition, the basic basic knowledge of outdoor entry is added, and interviews with talents are added to create a high-quality user experience.

Cheng Lin said that outdoor sports as a sunrise industry, although the domestic development time is short, but from the data point of view, in 2015, domestic outdoor sports consumers close to 130 million people, compared with 2010, the number of people doubled, but with Compared with outdoor consumption in Europe and the United States, there is still much room for development. At the same time, with the escalation of domestic consumption, returning to nature and participating in outdoor activities will surely become an inevitable demand for travel.

At present, there is no platform for the Chinese community to provide global high quality outdoor resources. Compared with the 8264, an outdoor platform that focuses on domestic destinations such as the mill, wild children choose to start from overseas data. In addition, domestic related platforms emphasize the characteristics of high-end and extreme outdoor sports, and mostly provide travel products in OTA mode, while wild children adopt the idea of ​​promoting the daily life of outdoor sports as a concept to reduce users' thresholds.
