Problem
Planning events
is stressful
People do not have an effective way to schedule and keep up with event details, forced to use multiple apps and redundant communication.
The event organizer is exposed to social pressure, humiliation, and financial risk.
Additionally, Facebook is projected to lose 44% of its teen users in the next 2 years. Gen Z and Millennials will be needing an event tool.
The next big social app isn't going to be social media — it's going to be about using technology to connect us in real life... It's not about sharing content — it's about sharing experiences.
—Arianna Huffington
Solution
A kickstarter for
social plans
Aftrparty is a future-facing events tool.
It is a tool to plan, broadcast, crowdfund and discover events in your area — from birthday parties, barbecues and roadtrips, to boating days on the lake.
Unlike lnstagram, Snapchat, Tiktok and other social medias that illustrate the past, Aftrparty is a future-facing platform. Our users can see what is going to happen instead of what has already happened.

Aftrparty’s public beta launch will be in Utah, focusing on Salt Lake & Utah County. We currently have 500+ people signed up to download our beta once it goes live. Launching in Utah will allow us to take full advantage of our local network and give us consumer insights before launching to a broader audience.
We are currently building strategic partnerships with several of the largest event producers within the state of Utah.

Summary
Our message to you
One of our goals is to make the event creators life and the guests life 10x easier. We are redefining how social gatherings of any kind happen. What currently requires the use of a multitude of apps to organize, plan, and raise funds can be brought together into one simple app.
Almost everyone has felt the pains of attending or hosting some sort of social event. Our hope is that everyone who believes in this idea and chooses to invest with us will go on to use the app in their lives. We hope that it will make your planning and event going experiences even easier.
This is just the start and we're excited to have you along for the journey. - Landon & Michael
