Doing life together should be easy
Connection makes the world go round
Let’s empower togetherness
Grapple Groups is a group connection platform.
Whether it’s a impromptu gathering or a recurring established group, we are here for it. Get together with friends, or set up and manage a group based on podcast material, topics, interests, books or activities. Getting together should be easy.
Meet the Team behind the idea
The Grapple Groups product team is led by Cara Miller, founder of ZIV. The team is passionate about creating a more connected world. Lots of people helped design and build Grapple Groups including Matt Pflumm, Linday Lovejoy, and Brad Eichenberg. We were inspired by leaders in dauntless small group leaders, book club initiators, and podcasters.
The Grapple Groups Initiative
The Connected Project was created in 2019. The first version of the app created to empower institutions to manage their groups. The project was led by Matt Pflumm. Early engagement showed us that putting the power of creating groups in the hands of individuals gave new meaning to the app. Our hope is to continue building consumer software that improves connection and advances scientific research on resolving loneliness in an isolating world.
Simplify gathering
Connect with your communities, growing and connecting the people who want to explore the topics that interest you.
