Storicity, founded in 2020 and headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, developed a travel planning platform. The company's primary service was Yoda Trip, an AI-based application that provided travelers with customized itineraries and mobile audio guides for tourist destinations. The app used an AI chatbot to offer information on artifacts and monuments, aiming to streamline vacation planning for individuals. Yoda Trip gained initial traction and was featured as the "App of the Day" on the Apple App Store.
The company received seed funding from 500 Global in December 2020, followed by a pre-Series A investment from Firstgate in December 2021. In April 2022, Storicity was selected for the Ministry of SMEs and Startups' TIPS (Tech Incubator Program for Startups). In addition to the Yoda Trip app, Storicity also operated "Travel to Madness," a digital content platform focused on travel with a significant social media following. However, due to business restructuring amid a downturn in the startup industry, the Yoda Trip app and its related web services were discontinued in April 2025. PitchBook now lists the company's ownership status as 'Out of Business'.
