We're not just a new name; we're a new era. After growing our solution of connecting local businesses and creators, we're thrilled to introduce Loca.
Why "Loca" You Ask?
Well, we're a little loca about local! We're passionate about the unique energy and spirit of local communities. Our mission has always been to empower local businesses and creators, and "Loca" perfectly captures that enthusiasm.
Our Commitment to Local
Our founder, Joe Edgar, knows firsthand the power of local businesses. Having worked in a small business himself, he understands the challenges and opportunities they face. Loca is a testament to his belief that local creators and businesses can thrive together, fostering strong communities and economies.
Growing up, Joe worked in his family's food trailer, selling delicious doughboys. He saw firsthand that even the best product, team, and location can struggle without effective marketing. This experience inspired him to create a platform that helps local businesses connect with their communities.

Today, technology has made the world smaller, but it's also distanced us from the great businesses right outside our door. Loca is changing that. By offering cash rewards for exploring local businesses and creating content, we're encouraging people to explore local and earn cash doing it.
What's Next for Loca?
As Loca, we're committed to:
- Empowering Local Businesses: Helping them attract new customers, share their stories, and grow sustainably.
- Supporting Creators: Providing opportunities to create authentic content, earn rewards, and make a positive impact on their communities.
- Fostering Community: Building connections that strengthen neighborhoods and support local economies.
