This NYC based startup is building the real-world social layer for Gen Z where group-hosted events are powered by tools like AI scheduling, collaborative hosting, ticketing, text blasts, dues collection, and brand sponsorships.
Think event planning meets social infrastructure, designed for daily use across college campuses.
The platform has grown from 1 to 12+ schools, with 70+ more on the waitlist. Hundreds of events have already been hosted, and the company has landed paying brand deals with names like Monster Energy, the Jonas Brothers popcorn brand, and Winnie Harlows cosmetics line all achieved with zero paid marketing.
After shipping 18 new features this year and raising $500K in pre-seed funding (including the largest check ever from CNVC, the startup competition that launched Grubhub and Braintree), the team is ready to bring on a Founding Engineer to help shape whats next.
