The past few weeks have been especially exciting for us at Taggstr. Although we are just a bunch of college students reveling in the moment and aura the Bay Area provides, there’s a side of us that now knows that we have a ton of work to do. As some of you may know, Taggstr recently received $50,000 in seed funding from a joint venture between SVASE and Cambridge West Ventures. We are one of two companies that Cambridge West/SVASE decided to back (the other being AppBackr), and now it’s pretty much go-time.
Unfortunately, we can’t say too much yet as we haven’t launched, but I can personally say that we are going to work our hardest to rock this summer! For those of you who are itching to know what we’re up to, I can tell you 1) We’re launching to the iPhone and 2) We’re a location based service. Now we’re not trying to build any hype or anything, but Taggstr is going to be useful and it’s going to be fun. Furthermore, Taggstr is going to provide some twists on location information and user privacy for sharing it. If you want to sign up to be notified for our beta launch, check out www.taggstr.com and we’ll let you know when you can start tagging!
