Platform Features

Built for real-world coordination at scale

AroundU is infrastructure for real-life interaction. We provide the technical scaffolding that allows people to find, organize, and attend gatherings without the friction of traditional social media.

Whether it's a 10-person dinner or a 5,000-person festival, our systems are built to handle the complexities of vetting, payments, and communication in one unified environment—without the chaos.

By focusing on utility rather than attention-algorithms, we ensure there are no feeds to scroll, just events to attend. Your coordination remains focused on the event itself.

Built-in Communication

Event-specific channels mean no endless groups to manage. Coordination stays on-platform: no phone numbers shared and no clutter in your personal messaging apps.

Discovery & Reach

Pure location-based discovery. We don't use engagement algorithms to show you what's popular; we show you what is actually happening around you right now.
