INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
ANGLR, a tracking system for fisherpersons, has raised a $3.3 million Series A to add AR and wearables to their already impressive package
of fishing trip management and devices to help record fishing data
That’s right… they caught a big one!Nic Wilson and Landon Bloomer started this Pittsburgh-based company to build an app that can help
record and plan your fishing trips
The system has been around for five years and they’ve logged thousands of catches
They’re releasing “patent-pending connected tracking accessories” to record catch locations so you don’t have to pull out your phone
while in the middle of reeling in a real beauty.“Most fishing apps let users record catches
Our platform is built around trips,” said Wilson
“Mid-July our users will be sharing the first comprehensive summaries of fishing trips
The catch is only the result of many variables coming into alignment
Our system quantifies them We work with the top weather and water data providers and have spent years mastering GPS and pathing under many
fishing scenarios.”The cash, raised from KB Partners with participation from Brunswick Corporation, will help them grow their selection of
wearable devices.“All fishing apps require some form of manual data entry
We’re automating it with the word’s first connected accessories and third party integrations,” said Wilson.The team started with some
pretty basic technology and are now expanding past their modest beginnings.“Our first prototype was an android phone mounted to a fishing
rod, which spurred a network of resources in Western PA who wanted to help get it done,” said Wilson
Over the past few years they’ve perfected their app and they’re looking to create software and hardware to “become the center of
fishing intelligence.” A noble goal, especially if they can get the one that got away.
