Since its launch two years ago, Lostmy.name has secured a $9 million Series A investment from [Google Ventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-project-genie). 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Algorithm-based Storybooks:** Opportunity for personalized storybooks using algorithm-based customization. - **Satellite Image Customization:** Potential for using satellite images to create unique and personalized products. - **Geocoding and Mapping API Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in utilizing geocoding and mapping API technology for creative storytelling. ### Who This Affects Most - **Children's Publishing:** Children's publishers can explore algorithm-based personalization to create unique storybooks. - **Technology:** Tech companies can develop innovative solutions using satellite images and geocoding technology. - **Creative Storytelling:** Storytelling companies can leverage geocoding and mapping API technology to enhance personalized storytelling experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Personalized AI Stories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-bookshelf.md) - [Customizable Children's Stories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storyland-illustrated-personalized-ebook.md) - [Personalized Children’s Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinyherostories.md) - [Custom Illustrated Storybooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-illustrated-storybooks.md) - [Personalized Storytelling Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magical-childrens-book.md) - [Personalized AI Bedtime Stories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-night-bedtime-stories.md) - [Personalized Bedtime Stories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storygenius.md) - [Personalized Storytelling Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wundr-story.md) - [AI Storytelling Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dearbook.md)
