HVSF invests in ViaHero | Hudson Valley Startu
Summary
Locals are trained as “Heroes,” learning how to create the maps and guidebooks for each trip as well as providing concierge-style service to the travelers. We are pleased to invest at this time to support ViaHero as global travel is reignited in the coming months.” Over the next 12 months, ViaHero plans to continue its focus on influencer outreach, customer referrals, and channel partnerships, which have the potential to become a primary contributor to new sales. And because Heroes make recommendations based on the people, places, and things they know best, the benefits of tourism get spread out more evenly within local communities. HVSF is comprised of 65 investors, most of whom are local business and community leaders who invest time and resources to support the regions entrepreneurial ecosystem.
