At Silicon Prairie News, we love seeing startups put out explainer videos to give potential and current users a succinct overview of the problem their product solves and how to best go about using it. These 1-3 minute videos are most often screencasts or animations. In Hollrback‘s case, it’s a 1:32 animation that is very well done – the animation was professionally done by Tom Miller of Omaha-based Creative Ocean* and the narration is performed by Hollrback founder Gabe Kangas.

Here’s the script from the first 25 seconds of the explainer video:

You’re a person who meets people all the time – at the office, at a conference, or at a restaurant – you’ll never know who you’re going to meet. Like most people, you’re not defined by one job or hobby, you’re an interesting person meeting other interesting people for a variety of reasons. But how do you remember who you met and why? This is the focus of Hollrback, knowing that context is everything
