We all know the group chat dance:
“Who’s around tonight?”
“I might be free…”
In navigating these scenarios, we strive for Real-Life Coordination.
“Let’s see how the week goes.”
“Next time.”
We built Pacaya because we were tired of next times.
From Group Chat Chaos to Real-Life Coordination
We started with one question: Why do group chats never turn into real plans?
Answer: they weren’t designed for it.
Pacaya is what happens when you take:
The simplicity of group chats
The urgency of Doodle polls
The magic of spontaneous energy …and mix it with a layer of AI that reads the room
What Makes Pacaya Different
Maya learns your patterns — when you’re most social, which spots you like, what type of crew you prefer
The app lives in the moment — most crews are same-day or next-day
It’s not just events. It’s things like:
- Spontaneous sushi night
- Dog park buddy walk
- Midweek wind-down yoga
All created by real people near you.
Why We’re Starting With Cities Like Nashville
Big enough for options. Small enough for community. And full of people who are done with performative friendships.
We’re not trying to go viral. We’re trying to go valuable.
