Echolocation, founded by Brian Moore, was a New York City-based startup that developed Echo, a mobile application designed to connect users with their immediate surroundings through short, 140-character messages.
The app automatically detected a user's city, allowing them to broadcast and receive messages from others in the same geographic area. This created a location-based social network where content was directly tied to a physical place.
The company's business model was centered around advertising, leveraging the location-specific nature of the user-generated content. Echolocation secured $200,000 in a single funding round from two investors. However, the company is no longer active.
