✏️ ORIGIN STORY
RoarPack started on a porch in Austin, in June 2025.
Kevin and I had met up with friends to support our buddy Jet at his art show. After, we all ended up back at Olivia and Micah's place. One of those nights you don't plan and don't want to end. Music going. One big conversation rolling alongside ten smaller ones. Everyone half-listening, fully present. The kind of night that's the whole reason you have a group of friends in the first place.
At some point Kevin started talking about planning a weekend trip for his birthday in August. He threw out a date. Got back "we're booked." Tried another. "We've got a wedding." Two months out and the calendar was already a wall. Frustrated, he said it out loud: "There should be an app for this."
Something clicked. I started talking and didn't stop. How it could work. How it should work. How it could integrate with your calendar, learn the group, take the friction out. Kevin just looked at me. We both knew, even if neither of us said it yet, that something had just happened.
Then we let it sit. He brought the app up a few more times in the weeks that followed. I kept laughing it off.
Then on my birthday in September, over dinner with a few close friends, Kevin asked me for real. Was I in. Would I build it. We shook on it that night.
Two weeks later, we had our first meeting at my house. Kevin bought dinner from the taco shop across the street. RoarPack was born.
"Two months out and the calendar was already a wall."
✏️ THE WHY
Kevin and I thrive in community. There's nothing we love more than getting friends together, exploring new places, sitting on a porch until 2 a.m., creating the kind of memories that don't need a caption.
But getting people in the same place at the same time has gotten harder. We're burned out. Booked and busy. Surrounded by tech that's supposed to connect us and somehow leaves us more isolated than ever. At the end of a long week, the last thing anyone wants to do is run point on a group trip that's just going to die in the chat anyway.
We're nostalgic for a time when getting together felt easier. When plans got made on a napkin and nobody was performing for an audience. We can't go back to that. But we can build something that gets us closer to the feeling.
RoarPack exists to take the heavy lifting off your plate. To get the trip out of the group chat. To get you on the porch, in the room, around the table, with the people who matter. No likes. No views. No content strategy required. Just a platform built for the part of life that actually happens when the phone goes down.
That starts with group travel. But it doesn't end there. Wednesday night art shows. Mid-week dinners. The reunion that keeps getting pushed. Anywhere people want to show up for each other in real life, RoarPack wants to make that easier.
Technology in service of human connection. Without the expectations, the performance, or the likes.
