GoPro started with the goal of creating a camera that can withstand all<br />

of the abuse that action sports photographers put their cameras through,<br />

but it has become so much more. GoPro was first thought up by foun<strong>de</strong>r<br />

and CEO Nick Woodman when he was on a surfing trip. He hoped to get<br />

great photos, but the photographers just couldn’t get close enough to the<br />

action. Woodman then acquired the money necessary to start his<br />

company by selling beads and shells out of his VW van.<br />

The company originally started out selling the camera to the surfing<br />

crowd, but then branched out into skiing, biking, skating, scooter riding,<br />

auto racing, skydiving, and more. GoPro has gone now from just offering<br />

heavy duty action sports cameras, to having cameras that even<br />

professional filmmakers and photographers use on a daily basis. The HD<br />

function of the new Hero 3 line of cameras is comparable to larger<br />

cameras that are three or four times the price, making this camera<br />

something of a marvel to behold. GoPro is easily the number one camera<br />

company in the action sports industry today.<br />

What is the product?<br />

What is the market segment?<br />

What is the factor of innovation/differentiation?
