The Problem

Organizing group trips involves dozens of fragmented text threads, spreadsheets, and Venmo requests. 67% of group trips fall apart due to coordination friction, and no existing booking platform handles group consensus, split payments, and itinerary management in one place.

The Solution

A unified group travel platform with built-in polling for dates and destinations, group booking with flexible payment splitting, shared real-time itineraries, and a marketplace connecting group organizers with curated travel experiences.

Executive Summary

A collaborative group travel platform that eliminates the chaos of coordinating trips with 5-50+ people. Handles group polling for dates and destinations, split booking and payments, shared itineraries, and real-time communication, making it easy for creators, corporate teams, and friend groups to travel together.
