Overview

Holler builds conversational media — curated stickers, GIFs and other expressive content — and powers in-app search and suggestion experiences for partners. Its Suggestion AI recommends context-appropriate media based on conversations while aiming to respect user privacy. The company monetizes by creating branded content and campaigns for partners such as HBO Max, Ikea and Starbucks and measuring campaign impact. Holler’s content reaches 75 million monthly users, up from 19 million a year earlier, and revenue has grown 226%. Holler pivoted from a news and video app to messaging in 2016 and is led by founder and CEO Travis Montaque. The company plans to use new funding to continue developing its product and advertising model and to explore new media formats.
