Take away the friction of getting friends together for simple hangouts & activities. Crewship occupies the space between a quick text with a buddy and formal events with many people outside your circle: the result is getting together with friends more often!
Ahoy Hunters & Makers!
Iโm Brandon, Captain of Crewship and I welcome you all AโBoard!
Let me ask everyone a question:
โWhat are you looking forward to?โ
A simple question, but one that is asked over and over again, anywhere from friends wondering what youโre up to this weekend, all the way to trying to talk someone out of jumping off a bridge. You see, the future is so unclear it is of great interest to get even a small glimpse. Hope and fear both live in that unknown abyss.
We developed Crewship to try and answer this question, for ourselves and for our close friends and family.
๐ Wouldnโt it be incredible if we can have a looking glass that peers into the future to see what people are up to next week? Next month and next year? โHey look at Claire, sheโs playing golf Saturday, is doing a tech-cleanse next month, plans to visit Tibet next year!โ
๐ Wouldnโt it be interesting to see what your friends might be interested in? โI didnโt know Larry wanted to try kite surfing, learn guitar, heli-ski!โ
๐ How great would that feeling be to not have to ask, but they tell you in advance so you can join in, help them, offer advice/suggestions and support their plans and goals?
Social networks are good at a couple things: 1) connecting people online and 2) showing you their filtered past.
We created Crewship to do the opposite: 1) Connect people IRL and 2) show you their hopeful future!
Weโve been working over a year on this idea: to take away the friction of getting friends together for simple hangouts & activities. Think about it, just making a plan for going to the beach, mountains, happy hour or bbq is so stressful! Who coordinates, whoโs free, whatโs the best plan, who brings what? Group texts are confusing and can go overboard in all directions! We occupy the space between a quick text with a buddy and formal events with many people outside your circle.
The world is opening up again! What are you looking forward to next weekend? Next month? Next year!!
Post it now and see how many in your Crew want to participate!
We hope Crewship makes your life easier & gets you together with your closest crews more often!
Social networks can actually be productive & have substance! Posting the past isnโt as powerful as creating the future! ๐ช
Would love your feedback/thoughts/suggestions to make this blast off ๐ and be ready for the real world ๐
Best wishes!
-Brandon
@pupeno Thanks for your question! No, only hosts need accounts to setup hangouts for their close friends/family/co-workers etc., but the invitees/guests do not need an account in order to join...but it would be nice if they want to see more details (like who else is going) and want to create their own hangouts. Please let me know if you try it out and offer any feedback/suggestions to make the app easier for you!
Cool - so this sort of combines Doodle polls with bigger picture plans and bucket list items you want to get done? Excited to try it out!

Great concept. I'm trying out the app.. how can I create different profiles for different friends when I create hangouts?
Report
@followalektan thanks!! You can create up to three profiles, and also make different โcrewsโ in each profile of friends with similar interests, etc. For example, make a profile for co-workers, and crews of marketing team, engineering team, etc. and another profile for friends With crews like beer drinkers, golf buddies, cigar smokers, etc. Go Wild!!
?makers does this keep a tally of spend? Currently me and my friends use Whatsapp for messaging + Splittable to track expenses between the group. It would be great to consolidate both into one place!
@hamzah_chaudhary Thanks for the great question! This is in our plans for the future! We're hoping to implement sooner rather than later but it's great to hear that it will be a popular feature!
Crewship is all about creating and blasting out your plans to your friends! What are you most looking forward to doing once the Pandemic is settled?

Good product, on the right way to make something even if there are already alternatives since a while.
How do you plan to manage the user data and all the sensible connections you're going to receive as consequence of the daily use?
