GroupGift: Split-Cost Event Registry
A gift registry for group events (weddings, bachelor parties, group trips) that automatically calculates fair cost splits and sends payment reminders to contributors.
The Problem
When groups want to buy a shared gift or fund a group experience, there's no standard way to coordinate who pays what. People resort to Venmo threads, spreadsheets, or group chats that create confusion, awkward follow-ups, and people forgetting to pay their share. Existing registries (like Zola) are wedding-only and don't handle group fundraising scenarios.
Target Audience
Event organizers planning weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, milestone birthday trips, group vacations, and collective gifts—typically ages 25-45 who are tech-comfortable but tired of manual coordination.
Why Now?
Post-pandemic group travel and experiences are booming, and younger cohorts expect digital-first coordination. Group gifting via social has become culturally normalized but tooling hasn't caught up.
What's Missing
Existing solutions are either payment-only (Venmo) or registry-only (Zola for weddings). There's no tool that combines transparent cost-splitting, item tracking, and automated collection for non-wedding group scenarios.
