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.

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.
