Ever stood at the top of Telegraph Hill, staring up at Coit Tower, and thought, “You know what this moment needs? A soundtrack.”
Yeah, us too.
That little spark — that desire to bring stories to life in the places we love — is what lit the fire behind StreetModo. We’re a brand-new, bootstrap-style venture built around a simple idea: self-guided audio tours that make exploring feel like magic.
🚀 Starting a Company in 3,421 Steps (Some Uphill)
The journey to get here? Let’s just say it was a hike — very on brand. From choosing a name (tip: make sure the domain isn’t taken), to navigating LLC paperwork, business bank accounts, developer licenses, marketing platforms, and oh yeah, learning how to actually publish an iOS app, it’s been a ride.
We’ve made mistakes. We’ve fixed them.
We’ve hit dead ends. We’ve rerouted.
We’ve questioned everything — and then pushed forward anyway.
Because building something from scratch takes heart, hustle, and a little bit of delusional optimism. (Highly recommend.)
🎧 What We’re Building
StreetModo is all about unlocking the hidden layers of the world around you.
Whether you’re wandering the Golden Gate Bridge, climbing Coit Tower, or discovering hidden murals in the Castro, our goal is to turn your walk into a story.
We’ve launched our first few tours and more are on the way — each one crafted with care, research, and just the right amount of audio drama.
💡 For Anyone Thinking About Starting Something
If you’re standing at your own starting line — maybe launching a business, an app, a side project, or a podcast — here’s what we can tell you:
Start messy.
Start scared.
Start anyway.
We did.
And we’re so glad we did.
