Locca is a Vienna-based startup, founded by Julian Breitenecker and Albert Fellner in 2012 with the joint goal in mind of quickly finding lost people, pets and personal belongings. Two years of research were dedicated to developing LoccaMini and LoccaPhone, the most sophisticated locating devices. The "Locca adventure" started with a dramatic event: while on vacation with his family, Julian lost sight of his son Ben on a playground. He later described the time leading up to finding Ben as the most terrible minutes in his life. The idea of a locating device for children (LoccaPhone) was born. Julian quickly realized that the technology could be used in various other fields of application and so LoccaPhone's little brother, LoccaMini, was developed.
