What Wildsteps does

WildSteps, a brand of OUTBE SRL Società Benefit (a certified B Corp), designs and delivers bespoke outdoor team-building experiences and multi-day corporate retreats for enterprise clients across Italy. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Chiavari (Genoa), the company operates with 1–10 employees under founder Luca Tixi, serving large corporate teams in industries including professional services (Deloitte), energy (Sorgenia, A2A), maritime/shipping (CMA CGM, RINA), financial services (Moneysurfer), manufacturing/packaging (Nivola, Verallia), technology (RSI Solutions), and sustainability (Too Good To Go). Its core offering rests on the proprietary Regenerative Outdoor methodology, which operates on three levels—personal well-being, relational team dynamics, and environmental regeneration—and integrates citizen science instruments (Snow Scope, iNaturalist, PlantNet, Merlin) and standardized impact reporting to deliver quantifiable ESG outcomes alongside team development.

The product portfolio spans roughly ten distinct experience formats, including Escape Wood (forest orienteering), Escape Sea Orienteering (marine navigation via kayak/SUP), Slow Snow (scientific snowshoeing), Wood You Relax (forest bathing), Clean-up Artistica (environmental clean-up turned into collective art), Wine & Ride (e-bike culinary tours), and Landscape Testing (gastronomic trekking), covering seasonal, terrain, and ESG use cases. Each engagement is fully customized rather than packaged, with proposal turnaround of 48 hours from inbound inquiry and minimum group sizes typically around 15 participants.

WildSteps runs a B2B professional-services revenue model with bespoke, quote-based pricing that varies by participant count, duration, location, logistics, and add-on services. The go-to-market combines content-led demand generation (multilingual blog, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, case studies, third-party reviews) with a consultative direct-sales motion: clients submit requirements via website forms, and WildSteps delivers personalized proposals. Distribution is direct-only across Italy, with no resellers or self-service channels. Notable strategic partnerships include Up2You's Green Cup sustainability challenge (announced 2026), through which the company accesses a network of 50+ companies and 1,000+ participants.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Eventbrite: Global event-management and ticketing platform used to organize corporate and consumer events. Comparable to WildSteps as a broad incumbent in the corporate event infrastructure stack, even though it provides tooling for event organizers rather than outdoor experience delivery.
• Cvent: Enterprise event management platform used by corporations to source venues, manage RFPs and coordinate meetings, offsites and retreats. Comparable to WildSteps as a broader incumbent in the corporate retreat/team event sourcing workflow, even though it is a software platform rather than an experience operator.
• Airbnb: Online marketplace for stays and Experiences, increasingly used by companies for team retreats and group experiences. Comparable to WildSteps as a broad incumbent enabling corporate team retreats and curated experiences, though Airbnb offers a self-serve marketplace versus WildSteps' fully custom delivery.
• Marriott International: Global hotel group with a large corporate meetings, incentives and retreats business across resort and urban properties. Comparable to WildSteps as a broad incumbent competing for the same corporate retreat and team-event budget, particularly for multi-day offsites, though Marriott delivers indoors and via owned venues.
• Hilton Worldwide: Global hospitality group operating resort and city hotels that host corporate meetings, offsites and retreats. Comparable to WildSteps as a broad incumbent competing for the corporate offsite budget via full-service properties, in contrast to WildSteps' nature-led, bespoke model.

Emerging players

• Offsite.com: Corporate retreat marketplace connecting companies with curated retreat venues and operators. Comparable to WildSteps as an emerging player in the same corporate retreat category, focusing on discovery and booking of offsite venues rather than designing nature-led experiences itself.

Others

• Up2You: Italian sustainability platform that runs the Green Cup corporate ESG challenge in partnership with WildSteps. Comparable as an ecosystem partner and adjacent sustainability player operating in the same Italian ESG/corporate-well-being theme, though Up2You is a software/community platform rather than an outdoor experience operator.

Direct peers

• Surf Office: Booking marketplace and operator of corporate offsites and team retreats, often surf- and nature-based across Europe. Comparable to WildSteps in the corporate retreat booking motion, focus on nature-led offsites and multi-day itinerary design for distributed/enterprise teams.
• Adventure Associates: Australia-based corporate outdoor team-building provider designing customized outdoor experiences for corporate groups. Comparable to WildSteps in bespoke outdoor design, facilitation-led delivery and enterprise B2B focus on team cohesion and leadership development.
• Teamdays: Italy-based corporate team-building operator organizing outdoor group experiences for companies. Closely comparable to WildSteps in target customer (Italian enterprise HR/People teams), activity mix (trekking, orienteering, water-based activities) and consultative B2B sales motion.
