GatherPact

GatherPact is a mobile + web app that helps extended families actually meet up by turning messy coordination into a simple, shared plan. Create a “pact” for a reunion, holiday, or monthly dinner: propose dates, locations, budgets, and headcounts, then let the app auto-suggest the best option based on everyone’s constraints. It includes lightweight family groups (no social feed), RSVP commitments with gentle reminders, and a shared checklist for food, rides, lodging, and tasks. The app also supports “micro-gatherings” (e.g., cousins in one city) so families don’t wait for the once-a-year reunion. Monetization is straightforward: a per-event organizer fee or a small family subscription that unlocks multiple pacts, SMS reminders, and vendor discounts. This isn’t about posting memories; it’s about reducing friction so gatherings happen.
