Less scrolling. More living.
Technology should help us participate in life, not replace it.
Find where you belong.
Gather helps you discover local events, places, communities, and experiences that match your interests, not just what is popular.
Built first for Bloomington, Indiana.
The Problem
Finding things to do should not be this hard.
Local events are scattered across websites, feeds, newsletters, calendars, flyers, venue pages, and word of mouth.
People do not miss meaningful opportunities because they are uninterested. They miss them because they never knew those opportunities existed.
Social feeds
Meetup pages
Organizer posts
Ticketing sites
Local calendars
Venue websites
Hours of searching. Still missing things.
Imagine This
Personalized recommendations that feel human.
Based on your interests, location, and the communities you care about.
Not just the biggest events. The right opportunities for you.
Built around real-world participation, not endless digital engagement.
Why We Built Gather
The internet became incredibly good at keeping us scrolling.We want it to be better at helping us live.
Community over popularity.
Gather is being shaped around meaningful experiences, not trending feeds.
Trust first.
Recommendations should be transparent, respectful, and grounded in real local context.
Real connections. Real life.
The point is not more screen time. The point is better reasons to leave the screen.
Our Vision
This is just the beginning.
