About Gatherwell

Group travel doesn't fall apart at the destination — it falls apart in the planning. Spreadsheets get out of date, group texts pile up, and someone always ends up footing more than their share. Gatherwell brings the messy parts of group trip planning into one shared place: a unified budget every member can see, expense splitting that actually adds up, and contribution tracking so the organizer isn't doing the math at midnight. Built for the way real families and friend groups travel, by a travel advisor who lived the problem.

Founder Bio

Juliana Day is the founder of Gatherwell Travel, a boutique travel advisory. After years of helping clients plan group trips, she launched Gatherwell, an iOS app that brings shared trip planning, budgeting, and expense splitting into one place — built without a software development background, using AI tools instead of an engineering team.

"Group trips fall apart in spreadsheets and group texts. The technology to solve this has existed for years — what was missing was someone willing to build it for the way people actually plan travel together. With today's AI tools, I didn't need an engineering team to make Gatherwell real. That's a meaningful shift in who gets to build software."
