Infinite Outdoors Co-Creator Sam Seeton to Speak at UW Feb. 5

Sam Seeton, the co-creator of Infinite Outdoors, will speak tonight in Room 127 of the College of Business at the University of Wyoming as part of the Entrepreneurship Speaker Series. The event runs 6-7:30 p.m. and is hosted by the University of Wyoming’s Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation; the session offers students and Albany County residents a close-up look at turning outdoor passion into a business.

“The co-creator of Infinite Outdoors, a startup that is transforming how people access land for hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation, will be the guest speaker at the Entrepreneurship Speaker Series Thursday, Feb. 5, from 6-7:30 p.m. in Room 127 of the College of Business,” the university announcement states. The same notice also highlights that “Founded by Wyoming resident Sam Seeton, Infinite Outdoors demonstrates how a passion for the outdoors can grow into a thriving business.”

Infinite Outdoors operates as “a website and mobile app that connects property owners with hunters, anglers and other outdoor enthusiasts seeking private outdoor experiences.” As a local innovation originating from a Wyoming resident, the service sits at the intersection of rural land stewardship, outdoor recreation economies, and technology-driven small business growth. The UW series aims to bridge campus learning and real-world practice: “The Entrepreneurship Speaker Series connects students with real-world entrepreneurs and industry leaders. These events provide insights, inspiration and practical advice for turning ideas into successful ventures, while fostering a community of innovation and creativity on campus.”

For Albany County the talk has several local implications. Expanding private access to hunting and fishing can supplement outdoor recreation options when public land is distant or limited, but platforms that monetize access also raise questions about equitable access, local benefit-sharing, and stewardship responsibilities. Health benefits tied to outdoor recreation - physical activity, mental health, and food security through hunting - are part of that calculus for rural families and student communities. The startup’s model may bring new revenue to private landowners while prompting county-level discussions about permitting, liability, and resource management.
