HearHere raises $3.2M to scale its immersive storytelling road-trip app –
Summary
Santa Barbara-based HearHere, the company behind an audio entertainment and immersive storytelling road-trip app, has raised $3.2 million in seed funding led by RV and outdoor retailer Camping World. The app aims to foster deep connections and understandings of the places and histories of the land that users are traveling through when on a road trip. HearHere CEO and co-founder Woody Sears told TechCrunch in an interview that the stories inform users about the history and natural landscape of the area that they’re in. About half of the stories featured in the app are based on history, while the rest focus on national wonders, sports, music and local insights. We tell these stories because they are crucial to understanding the full history of a location and our nation, and until those thousands upon thousands of stories are chronicled and told, our history isn’t complete.” In terms of the new funding, Sears says the investment will be used to continue to grow the app’s content library and expand its functionality in different ways, such as introducing offline listening capabilities.
