UpNext on what’s Up Next!
We’ve been working hard these last three years developing what we think are the best 3D maps out there and a few weeks ago, when we were at SXSW, Techcrunch broke the story of us closing our funding round!
Erick covered it well and we are excited to be working with such a great group of investors (Chris Sacca, David Cohen, David Tisch, David Diamond, Oleg Tscheltzoff, Josh Guttman, Will Herman, Ty Danco and ARC Angel Fund).
We feel really good about where we are heading and wanted to share our thoughts on future.
First off, take a look at the NFL’s official Super Bowl app that was created using our mapping platform (video). We think it is a significant leap in showing what our vision of mapping can accomplish.
When we talk about mapping, we’re talking about one of the most valuable properties on mobile devices. But even though maps are used everywhere, by everyone, they’ve lagged behind the rest of the mobile web. We are here to change that.
In our funding post, Techcrunch writes, “Mapping is a big boy’s game, with Google Maps, Bing Maps and MapQuest dominating maps on both the Web and mobile. But sometimes it takes a startup to push things forward.”
That is UpNext - we are constantly pushing ourselves and our technology because we are lean and have a clear vision. Our maps are dynamic, immersive and interactive. As the company name states, we want to show you “what’s UpNext in your city”.
Check out our new website, UpNext, to learn more about how UpNext’s mapping platform can help your brand.
This funding round, plus the support of our investors, provides us with the rocket fuel to reach our vision. Try out our app, UpNext 3D Cities, and let us know what you think. Android and Version 2.0 are coming soon but we’d love more feedback before then. There is lots of work to do to reach our vision, but we think that’s the fun part. We are definitely looking forward to it.
(Special thanks to Chris Dixon and the Hunch Team for the work space and support, and for letting us experience, first hand, things like this)
