WePopp is a social planning app that aims to let organisers create an event (“popp”), propose up to three preferred dates/times, invite friends, collect votes and messages, then finalise the plans. The app offers predefined activity categories (drink, meal, party, weekend trip) and a built-in messaging flow for itinerary changes. A key viral feature is that invitees need not be app users—they can be notified by SMS and vote via a browser, with final details sent by SMS. The company launched on iOS in August and added Android the following month and reports about 15,000 downloads acquired in three months with no marketing. Until this round WePopp was bootstrapped aside from €4,500 given by Google via the French accelerator Le Camping. Co-founder and CEO Julien Hobeika says the new capital will be used to “growth-hack” to reach hundreds of thousands of users and the team plans to raise a further round around mid-2014.
