Center'd Overview
We just love it when a plan comes together. Unfortunately, that rarely happens without heroic efforts, hundreds of emails, and a fair amount of anxiety.
Why is it so challenging? Who is going, where are we going, when are we going. Easy, right? Except that it isn’t. In fact, no one has created an experience that gets all three of these pieces right. And until someone does, we will either...More»
We just love it when a plan comes together. Unfortunately, that rarely happens without heroic efforts, hundreds of emails, and a fair amount of anxiety.
Why is it so challenging? Who is going, where are we going, when are we going. Easy, right? Except that it isn’t. In fact, no one has created an experience that gets all three of these pieces right. And until someone does, we will either continue to endure, or stop making plans altogether. Sigh.
At Center'd (Originally Fatdoor.com), we’ve been thinking about how to solve the challenges that exist in making plans. From the smallest get together, where you just can’t decide on where to eat and oh-my-goodness-I-can’t-take-it- anymore-maybe-I’ll-just-stay-home-and-wash-my-cat, to the large fundraisers and school activities that require signups and hundreds of emails and weeks of meticulous planning, one thing is clear: We can help.«Less

| Description: | We can give you the tools you need to easily organize people, places, and times. Using the latest space-age technology, we have concocted features such as: • Polling tools: Enable your guests to take some of the burden of coming to consensus on the place and time to meet. That would be nice, since they will probably forget to bring the chili. Again. • Task Management and Volunteer Sign-up: Now you can easily get the team you need to do the stuff you need. • Connection management and calendar sharing: Now that you are suddenly so organized, and ready to pull off the perfect girls’ night out/summer camp/grandparents day/birthday party/first date/last date, let’s make sure those who are important to you can view your calendars. But not everyone, and not every event. We can keep a secret. • Explore neighborhoods: We’ll even help you out with finding other places and events. How would you like a view of your world filtered by the recommendations of people you trust? How would you like to be at the center, and have the people, places, and plans you care about revolve around you, just waiting to be experienced? We like that idea. In fact, we like it so much, we built it. Whether you want to plan a large grandiose soiree, an informal rendezvous, a down home hootenanny, or you just want a place to go, we are here to help your world organize itself and revolve around you. That’s the benefit of being Center'd. |
