Garrett Camp is a serial company-builder who created Expa as a "startup studio for himself first" to channel his own idea pipeline from StumbleUpon to Uber to Eco, then opened that studio model to other founders once the playbook worked for him personally. He operates as a hands-on studio partner rather than arm's-length VC, working closely with founders on product definition, design reviews, and go-to-market strategy while building "compound innovations" that use each startup to seed the next one through reinvested learnings, capital, and infrastructure.
