Chris & Greg Robitaille Entrepreneur
What is the “Founder story”?
Xplorer Maps is a Montana-based family business started by brothers Chris and Greg Robitaille.
Chris, a talented globe-trotting artist, and Greg, an entrepreneurial Montana geography buff, convey their visions of bringing together art, history, culture, education, and conservation. Through these beautifully illustrated story maps, Xplorer Maps hopes to provide people with unique memories of wherever their journeys have taken them (or where they hope to go) and help raise awareness for the special places we all live or visit.
How did you come up with the idea?
Chris was living in Africa and creating maps of Africa, while Greg, the geography buff, was in Montana. They wanted to start a business together, and decided what better way than to combine their talents!
