Product

Four apps collapsed into one.

Discovery, planning, social, and lodging currently live in four different apps. Wutz Poppin puts them on one map — and the map is populated worldwide from day one via Ticketmaster's event catalog, so there is no cold-start problem.

📍 Map-First Discovery

Live events near the user tonight, color-coded by category. Shipping in beta today.

✈️ Trip Mode

Pick a city and dates; every event that weekend renders day-color-coded on the map. A planning UX no competitor offers. Shipping in beta today.

🔥 Live Pins

Pro members post live, location-anchored 24-hour pins. Ephemeral by design — no feed to moderate, no archive to bloat, always current.

🏨 Hotels on the Map

Hotels near the venue rendered in the same session where the ticket decision happens. Preview layer is live in beta; booking integration is the near-term roadmap.

Revenue model

Hotels carry the business.
Everything else is upside.

When someone finds a show, the next thing they need is a room near the venue — in the same session, on the same map. Every incumbent ignores that moment; the product is built around it.

01

Hotel Affiliate

~5% commission on bookings made through the app via hotel affiliate programs.

$55
per $1,100 festival stay
02

Pro Subscription

The social layer — posting live pins, creating chat rooms — is gated behind Pro. Free users get full read access.

$19.99
per user / year
03

Ticket Affiliate

Ticket-partner affiliate revenue, with half the commission shared back to users as Poppin' Points (capped at their subscription cost) to reinforce retention.

$4.50
net per booking
04

Promoter Boosts

Free to list events. Paid placement — featured map pins and nearby push notifications — with recurring venue packages.

$75
max per event boost
Competitive landscape

A proven market with a weak field.

Radiate

Validated demand for map-adjacent event social (~758K users), but its own user base publicly reports serious content-moderation failures and a swipe-driven UX that reads as a dating app. Retention suffers for it.

Ticketmaster

A purchasing platform, not a discovery tool — users must already know what they're looking for. No map, no social layer, no lodging context.

Facebook Events

Buried inside a network the 21–35 event crowd has largely left. Algorithmic feed, no map-first UX, no event communities, no hotel context.

Wutz Poppin

Map-first, Pro-gated social that stays clean by construction, ephemeral content with no moderation backlog, hotels in the purchase session, and Trip Mode. Live in Android beta today.
