Postcard on the Run (POTR), a mobile app that allows users to take a photo from their smartphone and send it as a high-quality printed postcard anywhere in the world, announced today that actress and singer Selena Gomez has joined the company as an investor and will play an active role in creative development as it continues to expand. Additional investors in the company's Angel round of $750k include Crosscut Ventures, Mike Jones, Kamran Pourzanjani, Yves Sisteron, Aber Whitcomb, Brian Fitzgerald, Ryan Steelberg, Colin Digiaro, Brian Lee, Chris DeWolfe and Jarl Mohn.
"I've always loved the old-fashioned touch of sending real postcards, but I never have time anymore with my busy travel schedule. Now it's easy with Postcard on the Run," said Gomez. "The one thing that I always have with me is my smartphone. In just seconds, I can send personalized photo postcards to my family and friends right from my phone. It's a new way to stay in touch the old school way."
"Selena's 'girl-next-door' sincerity and jet-setting lifestyle sync with the vision of Postcard on the Run. Just like Selena, we deliver heartfelt expression with a new, cutting-edge style," said Josh Brooks, CEO and founder of POTR. "We are honored to have Selena as part of the Postcard on the Run family. Her entrepreneurial sense and cultural instincts will help take us to the next level."
