Shout

650 W. Lake St., Suite 310, Chicago, IL, 60661, United States

Overview

Shout is a recently launched sharing app that lets users create lists and add items which can be private, public, or collaborative. Core features include sharing single items or whole lists, following curated lists, and easy collaborative curation intended to boost virality as users share more. The founder, Jeff Weisbein, previously started the BestTechie blog and built a sharing service called KYA before creating Shout. The product is pitched as a stripped-down Pinterest / micro-blogging hybrid useful for partners shopping together, couples, and casual micro-bloggers. The team has raised $450,000 from angels to date and is working on a $1.55 million Seed round. Because Shout just launched, there are few operating metrics available, though the article notes early momentum and positive signs.
