Travis Rosbach | Strategic Business Advisor & Speaker
Founder and inventor of Hydro Flask
I've built businesses. Now I help others build theirs.
I founded Hydro Flask and have spent more than 30 years building businesses, developing products, working with manufacturers, and helping companies grow.
Today, I work with founders, CEOs, and leadership teams across industries to solve problems, evaluate opportunities, and make better business decisions.

What needs your attention?
A decision. An opportunity. A way forward.
You have an opportunity to evaluate.
A new market, a partnership, a new offering, or a different direction. Let's look at the assumptions, the trade-offs, and what needs to be understood before you commit.
You need to decide where to focus.
Growth brings choices. We can work through competing priorities and decide where your time, people, and resources will make the most difference.
Something needs a closer look.
The business may be moving, but something is getting in the way. I bring an outside perspective, ask questions, and help you work out what to address next.
Strategic Advising
An experienced perspective. A practical next step.
I work directly with you to understand the business and the decisions in front of you. That may involve strategy, growth, brand development, operations, partnerships, or the challenges of developing and delivering something new.
Some engagements begin with one focused question. Others involve ongoing conversations as the business develops. We agree on the work, responsibilities, timing, and fees before we begin.

Sometimes the next step takes another kind of expertise.
Not every business problem calls for the same person or the same team. Sometimes I can help directly. Sometimes the next step calls for someone with specialized experience.
I can help identify the support you need and make relevant introductions. We start with your priorities and the people already working with you. My advisory work and any specialist's role are agreed separately before additional work begins.
Speaking
Let's have a conversation worth being part of.
I enjoy a good conversation, especially when the audience gets to be part of it. I speak with founder communities, leadership teams, universities, and conference audiences about entrepreneurship, building Hydro Flask, business growth, product innovation, and what I've learned when things didn't go to plan.
Fireside chats, moderated conversations, conference presentations, and audience Q&A can all be part of the format. We begin with your audience and what you want people to take away.

Hydro Flask is part of the story.
I've also been a pilot, captain, diving instructor, and explorer. I've built businesses, changed direction, made mistakes, and learned to ask for help.
Those experiences shape how I think about preparation, risk, people, and finding a way forward when the answer isn't obvious.
More About TravisBefore we talk
A few useful answers.
Who do you work with?
Founders, CEOs, and leadership teams across industries. Tell us about your business and the question in front of you so we can discuss whether my experience is a useful fit.
Will I work directly with you?
Yes, on the advisory work we agree on. If the project needs another specialty, I can help identify the right support and make relevant introductions. Any additional role, scope, and fees are agreed separately.
How do engagements begin?
We start with a free 20-minute introduction. If there is a fit, we agree on a focused assignment or ongoing involvement. Paid work is scoped and quoted privately.
Can our conversation stay private?
I keep private advisory work out of my public marketing. Start with a high-level inquiry, and tell Patricia if you need to discuss an NDA before sharing confidential information.
