At GrandValli, we’re all about pushing boundaries and thinking outside the box. We wanted to create something that not only showcased the businesses we love but also brought people closer to the stories behind them. The result? Our brand-new interactive map. But this isn’t just any map—it’s a blend of business, music, and the GrandValli community all in one experience.
When we first came up with the idea for the map, we wanted something that was simple yet different—something that allowed people to explore the businesses on a whole new level. We didn’t just want a map with locations. We wanted something that invited people in, made them feel like they were actually there, and connected them to the journey and vision of these businesses.
What makes this map stand out? Well, for starters, it’s not just about the locations. As you explore the businesses, you can also click and listen to three songs that speak directly to the business itself. How cool is that? Music that connects to the story, the vibe, and the spirit of the business, the creative, and the entrepreneur behind it all. Not to mention, the map also links to each business's website, Instagram, podcast, and YouTube—making it super easy for you to dig deeper and explore even more.

This map is designed to do more than just show you where things are. It’s about creating a deeper connection to GrandValli and the businesses we feature through GrandValli's Interactive Experience. I hope it sparks curiosity and involvement, giving you a closer look at the people, the stories, and the creativity that drive GrandValli forward. The idea is for you to feel like you’re a part of this journey, to see yourself in the process, and to think—this could be me, too.
But what really excites me is how much potential this interactive map has to grow. Right now, it’s just the beginning. We’re still adding more businesses, but the possibilities are endless. Who knows? We might turn it into an animation, a game, or even a VR experience. The more we explore, the more ideas keep coming, and the more we can keep enhancing this experience for you.
The best part? This project was born from our small, tight-knit team, so everything you see is a reflection of our passion, creativity, and drive to try something new. Unlike big media companies with huge budgets, we’re just here doing what we love, testing new things, and seeing what happens. And so far, it’s been such an exciting ride.
If you’re as excited as we are about the map and what’s to come, I’d love for you to support us on our Kickstarter campaign. Your support will help us keep this vision growing and reach even more people with the creativity and businesses we’re passionate about. You can check it out here and join us in this journey.
When you explore the map, I hope it makes you want to dive deeper into the GrandValli community, share it with your friends, and most importantly—visit the businesses! We’ve poured our hearts into bringing you something that’s not only functional but also fun and engaging. So go ahead, take a look, click the red dot, and get lost in the experience.
At the end of the day, it’s all about connecting with you, and I hope that after experiencing the map, you’ll feel even more connected to GrandValli—and maybe even inspired to join us on this exciting journey. Because the map isn’t just a tool; it’s a part of the GrandValli story, and we want you to be a part of it too.
