Ante up. And actually go.

Free. Founding Pro for the first 1,000.

Your crew already had the idea.

Six weeks of "yeah I'm down." And then it's on you to make it real.

You front the $1,800 hotel. Now you're chasing five people for $480 each — texting, reminding, feeling weird about bringing it up a third time.

Half pay you back late. One never does. And quietly, you decide you're done planning the next one.

Ante ends that pattern.

From group chat to group trip.

Create a pool, invite your crew, and watch the table fill. Everyone sees who's in — and who's still sitting on their hands.

Ante is not Cash App.

We're getting this out of the way up front because everyone asks. Here's what's actually happening:

Cash App
is for chasing.

Someone fronts the bill. The rest owe them. Requests go out. Some get paid, some don't. The trip ends with a ledger of awkward conversations.

Venmo
is for splitting.

The night already happened. Now you're doing the math. Three days later. With a slight resentment that nobody admits.

Robinhood
is for gambling.

It turned the market into a slot machine. Now your friends "invest" in things nobody actually understands.

Ante is for committing.

Before the trip. With the people who are actually going. Everyone's money sits safe with Dwolla until the goal hits — then it goes straight to the booking. No fees. Pull yours back any time before the deadline.

Held with Dwolla Zero fees Withdraw any time

Three steps. No spreadsheets.

From "we should do this" to a confirmed booking. Without one person fronting the bill.

01

Open the table

Pick a trip. Invite the crew.

Ibiza, Coachella, the F1 GP, mom's 60th. Whatever your crew is actually trying to do. Set a target date. Done.

02

Everyone pitches in

Real money. Held with Dwolla.

Each contribution goes to Dwolla — not in our hands, not in the creator's. Nobody can spend it until the goal hits.

03

Pot fills. Trip locks.

Money goes straight to the vendor.

Table doesn't fill by the target date? Every dollar comes back. No fee. No penalty. No one fronting anything.

The booking still happens. The photos still post.

Inside every table, your crew sees who's contributed and who hasn't. Inside every story posted three months later, everyone else sees who showed up.

Missed the target date without pitching in? Your row goes MISSED IT — struck through, permanent. No tag. No share. No "wish I'd come."

You're not the type. So ante up.

Held with Dwolla Zero fees Withdraw any time Founders go first

Stop talking about it. Lock it in.

Cash App holds your money. Banks let it sit. Ante locks it toward the trip.
