Gatherground reads what's actually happening in your city: every event, gathering, and institution. It puts it all on one living map, in real time.
We've started in San Francisco. Sign up to catch what's happening around you before anyone else, and help shape what we build next.
Not a feed sorted by who paid the most to be seen.
Most apps show you whatever's ticketed, trending, or technically nearby. Gatherground starts from what you're actually into, then surfaces what's genuinely happening around it: the show three blocks away nobody promoted, the market you didn't know was on, the room your people are already in.
No check-ins to fake, no listings to buy. Not just what's considered trendy. Just what's actually going on.
Gatherground continuously senses what's happening around the neighborhood and cleans it up, so the same show doesn't show up five different ways.
Every gathering gets weighed against what's real, what's genuinely taking root, and what actually fits you, not just what got posted loudest.
One card per gathering: what it is, who it's for, how to get there. Tap to RSVP. No ten-tab detour to figure out if it's worth going.
This is bigger than any one map: urban life feels most alive when it feels connected, the small, ordinary threads that make up the fabric of a place. What really happens in a space. That's what we're building toward.
This is why we built it. What started as a seedling, a side project drawing thousands of organic interests on the initial prototype, grew into something much larger, because there was much greater impact we could make.
"I just moved here and Gatherground has been so helpful discovering what's happening around me more seamlessly."
"I found out about a show three blocks from my apartment that I'd have never seen otherwise."
"People started showing up who'd never heard of us before."
We're not ranking who's loudest. We're making a neighborhood legible, what's really happening, block by block.
Long before there was a map, there were rooms doing the work: deep-history cultural institutions and businesses carrying decades of neighborhood life, some of them one bad month from closing. We've partnered with spaces like these from the start.
