Tagstr is a free social media platform that organizes user-shared images, audio and video around hashtagged themes rather than a follower-based model. The product lets users see all media uploaded around a topic of interest (for example, Glastonbury) instead of only content from people they follow. The company raised a further $1m in seed funding and has $2.6m in total funding to date; the backers were not named. Tagstr said it intends to use the funds to expand its platform. Launched in August 2014 by Michael Venn and based in Cheltenham, the app has been downloaded over 500,000 times on iOS and more than 20 million images, videos and audio clips have been uploaded to the service.
