Wrapped

A Unique $60 Million Investment Fund and Increased Acquisitions within Startup Community

Equity Podcast 2019 Phone
Ah, spring has sprung here in the Northeast United States, and it’s not only flowers that are blooming. Today on Equity’s startup-focused Wednesday show, we dug into the Multiverse-Searchlight deal, which reminded us of the Wonderschool-Early Day transaction that we covered on the show a few weeks ago. Startup Land is feeling quite busy and high-dollar again, and that’s a lot of fun! We wrapped up the show with a cool discussion of this new venture capital fund that’s targeting growth-rounds in Africa. Equity is TechCrunch’s flagship podcast and posts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and you can subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts.

“Explore & Remember: Globetrotter’s App for Reliving Your Travel Experiences”

Travel Concept
Frequent travelers who want to track their trips and reminisce about their favorite spots and travel memories now have a new app to do so. Globetrotter is today introducing a location-based travel photos app that lets you look back on your past travels and share your memories and stats out to other social apps, like Instagram and others. In addition to sharing your travel highlights and looking back on past trips, Globetrotter also has a feature called “2023 Wrapped,” which leverages the popularity of Spotify Wrapped to showcase your travels for the year, in a similar “year in review” format. He said the idea of building a travel app appealed to him because he also enjoys taking photos on his trips and wanted a way to look back at his past travels in a new way. The app includes a social element, too, where you can add friends and then compete on a travel leaderboard which shows your statistics.
