Experiences is the easiest way to do something awesome with your friends.

We help you discover, plan, and pay for the amazing experiences you’ll always remember.

At GroupMe, we’ve always been motivated by our mission to help groups of people communicate and get together better. We’ve loved watching GroupMe improve the way you stay connected with the people close to you, and we’ve strived to help you bring those online interactions into the real world.

For the past several months, we’ve been hard at work building and testing something very special. Today, it’s a privilege to begin sharing Experiences by GroupMe with the world. Experiences is the easiest way to do something awesome with your friends. We help you discover, plan, and pay for the amazing group experiences you’ll always remember. We also solve one of the most frustrating problems about group experiences: splitting the bill. The memories dearest to us are those we’ve shared with our friends, and we want you to have a lot of those. Sowhether it’s a dinner, party, concert, outdoor activity or a vacation, Experiences is there to make things easy so the moments you share with your friends are as fun and carefree as possible.

We all know group planning has always been tricky. Often, working out the logistics for a great group outing, whether you’re talking about a birthday dinner or a week at Coachella, falls on one person. We’ve created Experiences so you and your friends can get together without a hitch, at each part of the process — especially the paying part. With our group payment feature, we split the bill for you, so each of your friends can directly pay his or her own way and no one has to front money ever again.

And when you plan an Experience with us, of course we’ll set up your group of friends with a GroupMe messaging group so you can share it in one continuous conversation, online and on your phone.

Today, we’re beginning to roll out Experiences to select GroupMe users in New York. Over the course of the summer, we’ll invite more people. If you’d like to sign up for our beta, or want to be alerted when Experiences comes to your city, register here for early access. We look forward to sharing Experiences by GroupMe with you and your friends, and helping you create many more memorable moments in life.
