Why We Built Clannerly

Clannerly wasn't born in a corporate boardroom. It was born out of frustration—specifically, the nightmare of trying to coordinate a group of 12 friends for a monthly dinner club over WhatsApp.

Between endless group chat notifications, forgotten RSVPs, last-minute dietary surprises, and the constant "who's bringing what?" chaos, the joy of getting together was getting buried under logistics.

We realized that while the world has tools for business meetings (Slack/Asana) and broadcast social media (Instagram/TikTok), we lacked a dedicated operating system for groups that actually meet in person.

Our Core Principles

handshake 1. IRL Connection First

We build tools that inspire people to get off their phones and spend quality time together in real life.

bolt 2. Zero Logistics Friction

Planning a dinner or workout should take seconds, not hours of digging through chat threads.

restaurant 3. Inclusive Hospitality

Respecting everyone's dietary needs and schedules automatically so hosts can entertain with confidence.
