A travel app designed by Kevin Costner has received funding of US$15.3 million. In fact, the actor is one of the co-founders and currently one of the biggest shareholders of the American app HearHere. The app was launched in 2020 during the Covid-19.
The application is aimed at giving tips on places closer to its users that may interest them, such as restaurants, museums or something that is traditional from a certain place. Evidently, the app became something of a “fever”, gaining more than 100,000 active users, an unusual fact for this type of app.

In addition, it is important to highlight that in its first round of “seed financing”, or “seed funding”, two months ago, HearHere, which has been downloaded more than 400,000 times, raised 15.3 million dollars. In addition, a survey conducted by the American website “The Vacationer” showed that 80% of adult Americans intend to embark on a “road trip”, that is, on car trips across the United States. Apparently, not even Kevin Costner imagined that the application would be as successful as it is happening.
