'Lostmy.name' has already gained recognition for its highly personalized 'The Little Boy/Girl Who Lost His/Her Name' storybooks for kids, but the company is now taking its offerings to the next level with backing from Google. Since its launch two years ago, Lostmy.name has secured a $9 million Series A investment from Google Ventures.
What sets these storybooks apart is a plot that is highly customized to each child's name, gender and country. With the support of Google, Lostmy.name's new story, 'The Incredible Intergalactic Journey Home,' uses geocoding and mapping API technology in order to grab 4K satellite images of neighbourhoods and houses around the globe, meaning that each child's storybook is a completely unique and one-of-a-kind creation.
