Partiful is an event planning and management platform. The service allows users to create events, invite guests (often via text message), and perform various event hosting tasks, including managing RSVPs and sending updates to attendees. Currently, all services are offered free of charge to users. [1]

History

The service was founded in 2020 by Joy Tao and Shreya Murthy. [2] First launched as a website, the platform gained significant traction in 2022, also securing $20 million in Series A funding that year. [3] The service has seen significant adoption among Gen Z, millennials and startup founders, with the majority of users under the age of 30. [4] [5] [6] [7]

The company has claimed "millions" of active users by the end of 2023. [8] Partiful expanded into iOS and Android apps in 2024, winning the award for Google's Best App of the Year that same year. [9] [10] [11]
