Meet The Team
Adam Hostetter
Founder & CEO
Born in Cape Cod, MA, Adam found his love for the mountains early, starting to ski at just 2 years old in Stowe, VT. At age 10 he started snowboarding and became a 5-time National Champion and member of the first-ever Olympic Snowboard Team in 1998. In 1999 he started his second business, an e-commerce marketplace and software application geared to INFLUENCERS. Achieving break-even at $4m in yearly revenue, he and his partner sold the business in 2005 and it continues to be the market leader today. For the next 15 years Adam focused on construction and custom homes in Cape Cod and Boston. After buying, selling and operating several businesses in Massachusetts, Adam now spends most of his time in Vermont with his wife and twin boys who ski race — the inspiration behind Capture.
