  Kanvas is a newly launched app from the team behind Tracks that lets users build mixed-media creations using their own photos or provided art, layered backgrounds, stickers, and text. The product is seeded with free backgrounds, fonts, and stickers and also offers premium packs as a built-in revenue model. It’s designed to be lightweight and easy to use while embedding social features — following, reactions, comments, and sharing to networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. The company positions Kanvas as an ultra-simple, mobile version of Photoshop with a social layer and expects social virality around stickers and tools to drive purchases. The team will continue to support the existing Tracks product but is focusing development efforts on Kanvas going forward. The startup has raised $1 million in seed funding to support these efforts.

  Participated · Seed · Dec 2011

  Tracks is a mobile photo-sharing app that focuses on creating micro-social networks—called "Tracks"—around shared real-world experiences. The company's iOS app lets users create on-the-go group photo albums, apply automatic realtime filters, geo-tag photos visible on an interactive map, and stream content via AirPlay. It also enables merging online and offline worlds by letting users turn photos into printable physical photo books and provides a feed showing activity across tracks and networks. Tracks raised $1 million in seed funding to pursue its "mobile experience graph." Investors in the round included General Catalyst, TMT Investments, Eniac Ventures, AppFund, BHV Ventures, Harbor Road Ventures, Atventure.us, and a handful of angels including Photobucket founder Alex Welch, who will join the board. CEO Vic Singh leads the company, which launched at TechCrunch Disrupt NYC in May and whose iOS app was covered in October.
