Koa.la (operating under the photo-sharing app Albumatic) allows users to create shared photo albums that friends and family can collaboratively contribute to. The product originally launched as a location-based, in-the-moment photo-sharing service but pivoted after user feedback at SXSW revealed that onboarding and album setup involved too many steps. The company now focuses on making it easy to build and share group photo albums, emphasizing collaboration over real-time, location-restricted sharing. Co-founders Adam Ludwin and Devon Gundry started the service "this past February" and quickly iterated the product following on-the-ground testing. To finance development and growth, the startup has secured $4.2 million in venture funding. No user, revenue, or growth metrics were disclosed in the article.
