Built for impact. Designed to scale.
Loclie is solving a real problem for regional communities across Australia. We're building a platform that connects locals, travellers, and businesses - creating economic value and social connection at the same time.

Built to Scale
Platform covers 1,800+ towns today. Pilot active in Berrigan Shire with expansion planned.
What We're Seeking
We're currently looking for investors to help fund:
Why Regional Australia
A massive opportunity in an underserved market
- Regional Population
Over 7 million Australians live in regional areas.
- Tourism Industry
Regional tourism is a $40+ billion industry.
- Market Gap
Small towns lack affordable, scalable digital tools to support local economies.
Loclie is the only platform designed specifically for small regional towns.
Why big tech can't replicate this
Our defensibility isn't AI — it's the data itself
The data doesn't exist online
Regional Australian businesses are the least digitised segment in the country. Most don't have websites. Many don't have Google Business profiles. Google and Gemini can only scrape what's already online — and for regional towns, that's almost nothing.
Loclie is the source of truth
We're not aggregating public information — we're creating it. Every business profile, campaign, event, and update is first-party data contributed by the community. This makes Loclie the authoritative platform for real-time regional information.
Network effects compound locally
Each business that joins makes the platform more valuable for travellers. Each traveller who uses it gives businesses a reason to stay active. This local network effect is built town by town — not something a global platform can replicate at scale.
