## About

Based in Massachusetts, US, and founded in 2019, Guidesly, Inc. operates as a developer of a fishing guide mobile application. The company was founded by its CEO and President David Lord. In December 2024, Guidesly, Inc. raised approximately USD 5.6 million in series A funding led by Aspen Capital Group, with participation from YETI Capital, Half Court Ventures, Derive Ventures, Elysian Park Ventures, Marquee Ventures, and other unspecified investors.

The company offers a mobile application that connects anglers to a deep network of fishing guides. Guidesly allows the customers to book to own personal guides and enables them to find lakes, rivers, oceans, and other bodies of water for fishing and check for weather condition reports using their application. Guidesly also allows anglers to create fishing guides for their customers and promote themselves.

The company will use the December 2024 funding to expand its Vertical AI solutions, enhance the guides using its platform, grow its consumer marketplace, and scale globally across new outdoor verticals.
