Gowalla Exploration, Inc. was acquired by Facebook in 2011 and the application ended its service in 2012.
Founders Josh Williams and Patrick Piemonte revived the augmented reality platform in 2020. The company’s latest seed funding round was co-led by Spark Capital and GV. The company is a mobile application that focuses on giving credits to users for the data they submit and badges as a reward for completing specific tasks. The company plans to release a startup application in Spring 2021 which is called the Street Team that will be available for iOS users.
