Scoutabout is a web and mobile application that merges technology with lifestyle and travel, providing an innovative platform for users to create visual, information-packed collages which are mobile itineraries/guides for cities worldwide using user-curated images of places, events and products from across the internet. In just moments, users can find and save interactive mini-guides related to their interests or click-and-drag items onto a virtual collage board and create their own.
We are an early-stage startup founded by True North. In June 2011, True left on a six-month, 20,000-mile journey across the US collecting primary-source data for a travel app. Upon returning, she set up North Technologies, LLC and set about developing the app. Initial development plus market research revealed that a web-based, user-curated product had much greater customer value and global revenue potential, so she went to work creating Scoutabout, a web and mobile app that is, in short, Pinterest for travel and urban life.

In October 2010, I got a brainy idea to put together a travel app of 50 U.S. cities, figuring that there were others out there like myself who would appreciate having at their fingertips what they could do in a city on a limited budget.
We want to take advantage of our well-earned vacation time, but, let's face it, the old bank account doesn't look like it used to. Africa: I don't think so; Asia: not so much; Europe: nein, nada, mais non. So, it's our home sweet homeland...the USA.
And so I'm off to play tourist; to explore, to talk to the locals, to seek out the deals, and then have the information compiled into a phone app.
