The Problem Groups privately communicate, plan and share ideas and media every day but… …email isn’t …and social isn’t private. social…

People live their lives in groups – larger than just one person, but smaller than their entire social universe Micro-niche apps are burying users and fragmenting communications People need one, private place to manage all their groups 

Groupology, by Lifestreams, keeps all your groups separate, but puts all your groups in one place. - Each group has a conversation stream that flows with time and can hold any kind of content, from photos to documents to links to locations. Forget email, Dropbox, Evernote. Do it all here.

3

Simplicity & Privacy • Create a group, invite members, share content – that’s it. • A group is a single, searchable stream with past, present – and future (for upcoming events and scheduling) • Your stuff is private and it stays private. • Groupology is a walled-garden, separate from your email and your social networks. • Same interface and content across your iPhone, iPad and desktop – everything is stored in the cloud. • We don’t read your content.

• You won’t accidentally post something to a public network.
