Use cases
Anything that only works if enough people do it together
Crowd is one mechanism: an organiser sets a target number of people and a deadline, anyone with the link can say “I'm in” anonymously, and the action only goes ahead if the target is reached in time. That fits a surprising range of situations. Pick the one closest to yours.
Pick a situation
- Flash mobsOnly go ahead when enough people have said they'll be there.
- Protests & walkoutsNobody walks out first. Everyone walks out once the number is real.
- Group buysHit the minimum order before anyone spends a penny.
- Community & neighbourhoodLitter picks, street parties and skip days that don't fall through.
- Fans & supportersChants, walkouts and displays the whole stand does together.
- WorkplaceRaise it together, anonymously, or not at all.
- Friends & socialTurn "we should do that" into a number with a deadline.
- Students & campusWalkouts, society nights and campaigns a whole campus can join.
- Online communitiesGet a Discord, subreddit or stream chat in the same place at the same time.
- Boycotts & consumer pledgesOne cancellation is noise. Ten thousand on the same day is a headline.
- Community eventsOnly book the venue and the catering once enough people have said they'll come.
- Group purchasesUnlock the bulk price before anyone pays a thing.
- Local projectsOnly start the mural, the orchard or the bench when enough neighbours are in.
- Club membershipsOnly form the club, the team or the society once enough people are in.
- Charity fundraisingOnly launch the campaign once enough people have pledged to give.
Not on the list?
If your plan can be written as “if this many people say yes, then we will…”, Crowd will count it. The only rules: a target between 2 and 100,000, a deadline within 30 days, and a description that's lawful and specific. Read how it works or compare it with petitions, polls and RSVPs.
