Groundcrew provides web and mobile software that uses geo-location and messaging to rally community members, mobilize teams in real time, and manage and reuse resources during and after events. The platform offers mobile clients, open-source libraries, a web interface, an API, and a custom scripting language called CEML (Coordinated Event Markup Language) for scripting group dynamics and organizational logistics. Groundcrew enables contact via SMS, IM, Twitter, and email and targets use cases from small gatherings to large-scale relief efforts. The company positions itself as a one-stop shop to make real-time coordination accessible to individuals, businesses, and developers without the need to build platform-specific clients or integrations. A handful of Bay Area organizations — including the Red Cross, game developer Situate, and eldercare group Avenidas — have begun testing pilots. Groundcrew has raised $700,000 in funding.
