EveryTrail: $1 million in funding
I was just looking at the new Pennsylvania Dept of Conservation and Natural Resources trail finder ExplorePATrails site. It’s built on Google Maps and “powered by you.” I was thinking every state should have such a site. While it’s not as “social media” as some sites, you can provide updates and post events.
A moment later I see that GlobalMotion Media, the folks behind EveryTrail, a membership trail site, has raised $1 million from private investors via the Band of Angels group. EveryTrail is a powerful site (one of my students reviewed it a few semesters ago) but an iPhone and mobile apps make uploading trips even easier.
