What Spotguide Does
Spotguide is a free app that turns the food Reels and TikToks people save into a personal map of restaurants. Share a video to @spotguideapp on Instagram or paste a link, and Spotguide finds the exact restaurant, remembers the dishes and the vibe, and nudges you when you are nearby. Guide, its in-app assistant, answers questions from your own saves, and you can follow friends and share lists. For restaurants and creators, the Spotguide partner program traces saves and bookings back to the video that drove them, so both sides can see which content fills tables. Founded in 2026 and based in San Francisco, Spotguide is free on iPhone, Android and the web. Richard Yu co-founded Spotguide with Drew Klayman and designed and manages the product.
Spotguide is part of the Rich Ventures portfolio of early-stage companies. Rich Ventures is a San Francisco based startup consulting and investment firm that backs founders with capital, go-to-market and marketing strategy, and hands-on business operations support.
