| AudioCompass was started by a group of passionate travellers. They used guidebooks, human guides, and wikipedia pages; they experienced 500 years of history condensed into 5 lines. They whizzed past sights and spent time in tourist shops, because their guide needed to get to his next assignment. They read history off their screens when they shouldhave been looking around. They felt powerless. And promised to change this. That’s how AudioCompass was born. They made it for us, and now, they want to share it with you. | $450K / Seed / Feb 18, 2014 |
