About Trophium

Some records are worth keeping forever.

Trophium exists because three lifelong hunters kept losing the best days of their lives to a camera roll. This is who we are and why we built it.

Why we built it

A critical tool was missing: a dedicated place to preserve the memory and the technical detail of the pursuit.

Jeff has chased the world's most iconic species across the globe. It was on those trips he realised there was nowhere serious to keep what he'd done. Not the photos, and certainly not the numbers behind them. What began as solving his own problem turned into Trophium.

Hunters and anglers are some of the most passionate people on earth, and the technology built for them has almost always been an afterthought. We thought the record of a life outdoors deserved better than a group text and a folder of screenshots. So we built the thing we wanted to use ourselves. We still build it the same way: in the field, in season.

The reason it exists

Three strikes.
Zero apologies.

The team

Who's behind it

Jeff Van Drunen

Cofounder

A successful businessman and lifelong hunter and angler, Jeff has traveled the globe in pursuit of the world's most iconic species. It was during these expeditions that he realised a critical tool was missing: a dedicated, sophisticated space to preserve memories and capture the technical details of the pursuit. His deep field experience keeps the platform authentic to the community he has been part of his entire life.

Doug is driven by a simple philosophy: build things people love. From his time at Google to advising high-growth startups, he has dedicated his career to solving complex problems through elegant design and technology. He founded Trophium to apply that product expertise to the premier, purpose-built app for the modern outdoorsman.

We stopped asking permission and built our own ground.
