Dangos creates info-based travel app for destinations

Ever get to a cool vacation spot and then not know where to go to really enjoy the destination? If that's you, the folks at Dangos hope there are lots of you and all of you lost travelers will use their new mobile app.

The downtown Ann Arbor-based start-up is building a suite of apps for visitors to North America's largest travel destinations. Think major parks and tourist locations, such as Mackinac Island, The Henry Ford, and amusement parks.

The first location will be focused on Sleeping Bear Dunes and released at the end of May, "just about the time everyone starts to go back there," says Lisa Lloyd, founder & CEO of Dangos. "It's a fun location."

Dangos' team of three people have been developing the app for the last 14 months. It recently received five figures' worth of financing from the Michigan Microloan Fund. That money helped with the development of the software to get it to the point of near launch.
