Urbita operates a place-focused social curation platform that lets users create and curate "boards" for cities and towns, combining a Yelp-style collection of reviews with curated listings. The site maintains a roster of over 180,000 curated places worldwide and offers category-based browsing geared toward travel planning. Urbita has been compared to Pinterest, Everplaces, and Urbantag and is described as a more travel-focused, feature-rich version of Pinterest for places. Traffic grew from about 8 million monthly unique visitors in July to more than 10 million in August (roughly a 25% increase). The company launched a mobile-optimized website in August, plans native apps, and in June rolled out a Travel Videos sub-site that draws around 3.5 million monthly unique views. Urbita is a FounderFuel Fall 2012 cohort graduate and is based in Los Angeles and Buenos Aires. So far it has raised $650,000 in seed funding.
