Startup of the Week - Hollabox
by Startacus Admin
Hollabox - The lowdown on the innovative review platform and app that has created the world’s first video-only review and booking platform.
Whilst we’re all pretty used to checking out online reviews, chances are they consist of a body of text and a few photos - the quality of which is not always necessarily that great. Recognising this very fact and how important video is as a medium is our latest startup of the week. Hollabox is the world’s first video-only review and booking platform.
Whether you want to check out a coffee shop or a vintage market, you can do it via Hollabox.
Right now the focus is on London and there are heaps of videos for you to view and thereby get a much more honest and transparent impression of what a particular venue or experience is really like in the capital. It’s almost as if you were there yourself!
By using Hollabox you’ll be able to make a much more informed decision than you would if you relied on a standard review site.
Hollabox will also allow you to make bookings directly from its app or get directions should you need them.
Like all review platforms of course, content is key so when you do actually visit a venue or try out an experience yourself, you can become a creator, upload your own videos and in turn help other Hollabox users.
It should come as no surprise that Hollabox is becoming the platform of choice for people in London to discover and share reviews of the city’s restaurants, bars and clubs and we reckon it is only going to get bigger.
It surely will be only a matter of time before Hollabox expands its offering to other cities and that can only be a good thing!
