    Philly Startup NearVerse Raises $1 Million.

    by on April 1, 2010

    TechCrunch is reporting that local startup NearVerse has raised $1 million for mobile proximity technology that power things like their own mobile social network LoKast, which they launched last month at SXSW.

    From the NearVerse site:

    With its use of short-range wireless networks within its system, NearVerse’s platform is also inherently proximity-powered, and supports a range of rich, real-time, proximity-based services and applications, including LoKast

    LoKast users broadcast and share their content and information about themselves to those other users in close proximity to them.  It is currently available for the iPhone with an Android version in the works.
