Our First App: Pokemichi

A digital companion brewing in the test tube 🧪

Pokemichi is our first official experiment 🧫 from the laboratory. Our resident product scientists 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 are wearing their lab coats 🥼 and safety goggles 🥽, poking, prodding, and polishing the app under the microscope 🔬. We are inspired by the Michi style of Pokemon collection and want to make your digital binder a little bit easier and useful.

Our Next Experiment: Good Company

Our Next Product: Good Company

Better group trips, currently packing their bags 🧳

Good Company is our newest experiment in getting wonderful people onto the same page before they share an itinerary, a villa, and one increasingly ambitious group chat.

Friends answer a quick set of playful questions about budgets, mornings, meals, planning styles, social batteries, and what exactly “one more place” means. Good Company turns those answers into affectionate travel types and a shared group rhythm—so the trip can feel as good as the photos look.

  • 🧭 12 playful questions, zero side-eye
  • 🎟️ Affectionate travel types worth sharing
  • 🌅 Better plans for every kind of morning person

Group Travel Preference Mapping & Compatibility

Good Company is an interactive group-travel alignment product that converts individual preferences into transparent, privacy-conscious group insights.

Its deterministic assessment measures six practical dimensions: budget, daily pace, planning style, food priorities, social energy, and nightlife. Participants receive an individual travel archetype, while the group dashboard highlights natural alignment, meaningful differences, and a recommended shared rhythm.
