Sum2Do — Meetups, made real. Find ID-verified people near you for the stuff you actually want to do — runs, lifts, pickup games, fishing trips, group hikes, social hangs, paid gigs, and everything in between. Sum2Do connects you with real humans within walking distance, every day. Every member confirms their identity before joining a meetup. No anonymous flakes. No catfish. No bots. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Find tonight's pickup hoops game three blocks away. Or your future running partner one block away. • Host a meetup in 30 seconds. Pick an activity, set a time, drop a pin. People near you see it instantly. • Run with a private squad. Build a group with your training partners, chat in real time, plan recurring meetups, share inside jokes. • Live map of everything near you. See where meetups are happening, where the trail crew is, where catches are landed, where the pickup games are firing up. • Catch & harvest log. Every fish you land and every hunt you complete, mapped to where it happened. Compete on the community leaderboard at your favorite spot. • Reputation that matters. Public thumbs up / thumbs down votes on every profile so the reliable people rise and the flakes don't. • Tickets in your Wallet. RSVPs become QR tickets the host scans for check-in. Add to Apple Wallet with one tap. • Paid gigs that pay. Post or accept paid sessions — guided fishing trip, group bootcamp, photography session — and get paid through Stripe escrow. • Earnings dashboard. Track your hosting income, payouts, and Stripe Connect balance, all in-app. ACTIVITIES WE SUPPORT Running, lifting, pickup hoops, pickleball, soccer, tennis, hiking, climbing, paddle boarding, yoga, swimming, biking, fishing, hunting, golf, skateboarding, surfing, boxing, martial arts, dinners, drinks, coffee runs, networking, coworking, game nights, concerts, and more.
