Real people. Real group chats. Real chaos.
300+ interviews. Every single one told the same story.
Eleven people. Four destination options. A poll that somehow made things worse. Every time we landed on something, someone would say wait, what about... and we would go back to zero. Six months later we still had not picked a city. The group chat is a graveyard.
I've planned every trip for my friend group for the last six years. Hotels, flights, the itinerary, the group chat, chasing people for money. Every single time. By the time we actually get there, I'm running on empty. I love my people. I just need something to help carry it.
We've had the Cancun trip in our group chat since 2022. Every January someone says 'this is the year.' It's year three. The hype is real. The trip is not. At some point the chat stops being a plan and starts being a joke.

Chicago CohortGroup trips don't fall apart at the airport.
They fall apart in the group chat.
The chat goes nowhere
You spend two weeks in a group chat voting on dates, destinations, and budgets - and somehow end up back at square one. Decisions evaporate. Momentum dies.
One person carries everything
Someone always ends up doing all the research, chasing people for money, and holding the whole trip together. That person is probably you. And you're tired.
The money conversation is awkward
Splitting costs, tracking who paid what, reminding people to Venmo you - it's not about the money. It's about the tension it creates every single time.
The trip never actually happens
You've been planning Cancun for three years. Everyone's excited in January. By March, two people have conflicts. By June, the group chat is dead. Sound familiar?
That's not a you problem. That's a system problem.
We built the system.
Everything your group needs. One place.
No more juggling apps. No more chasing people. No more chaos.
Decisions get made. Fast.
- Set a destination, dates, and budget. Everyone votes in one place.
- No more "so what did we decide?" Every choice is saved and visible.
- Deadlines keep the group moving, not just talking.
