Local founders
SeeLocal was shaped by Calgary locals who wanted guests to find experiences beyond generic itineraries.
It started with a porch conversation about hidden gems.
It all started on a quiet afternoon, mid-pandemic. Stephen and Austen, roommates, friends, and Calgary locals, were sitting on their porch, reflecting on how much their city had grown since high school.
Austen always seemed to know the coolest spots: tucked-away cafes, scenic viewpoints, and local hangouts that never made it into tourist guides. Stephen had a spark of an idea: personalized tours around Calgary, custom experiences based on what people love, with professional photos along the way.
From that porch conversation, SeeLocal was born. Over time, the idea evolved into the app you see today. But the core mission has stayed the same: Connect people to the soul of the city, one curated experience at a time.
