Partiful

Event planning and invitations app

Partiful helps people throw events, starting with memorable party pages that make planning and communicating with guests straightforward. Its mission is cultivating friendships through social events, on the premise that parties remain the most effective way adults meet people and form friendships — a genuine problem, since the structures that produced friendships earlier in life largely disappear afterwards. The company is building new ways to streamline planning and connect friends-of-friends in person. It was named Google's Best App of 2024, a finalist for Apple's App Store Awards, and Apple's App of the Day four times.
