Appalachia Made, founded in 2016 and headquartered in Williamson, West Virginia, was a venture focused on repurposing former coal mining locations into destinations for adventure sports and leisure activities. The company's objective was to stimulate local economies by creating sustainable wage jobs and altering the national perception of the region.
The firm's offerings included activities such as hiking, fishing, hunting, and music festivals. By transforming these post-industrial landscapes, Appalachia Made aimed to attract tourists and outdoor enthusiasts, providing them with unique recreational experiences. The business operated within the leisure facilities, environmental services, and hospitality industries.
According to PitchBook, the company is now out of business. It was formerly backed by venture capital, with its last funding round noted as a Later Stage VC investment on December 10, 2021.
