The Problem

Planning group travel involves 50+ messages across WhatsApp, email, and text. Nobody can agree on dates, destinations, or budgets. One person gets stuck doing all the work. Collecting money from the group is awkward. 35% of planned group trips never happen due to coordination failure.

The Solution

Friend groups planning vacations, families coordinating reunions and celebrations, and corporate teams organizing offsites and retreats
