PullUp
Discover trending event highlights, creator stories, and crowd moments shared on PullUp.
What is PullUp?
Pullup is a social activity platform web app designed to make socializing easier and more memorable by curing FOMO and helping users discover local events. Rather than letting memories disappear after an event, Pullup allows attendees to collaboratively turn the night into an endless, shared story.
Core Features for Event Creators
-
Event Studio & Form Collection: Pullup replaces disconnected tools like Google Docs and spreadsheets by integrating native Form Collection directly into the event RSVP flow.
-
The Impact Profile: This dedicated page acts as a dynamic media kit, replacing outdated pitch decks with a transparent, data-backed snapshot of a creator's track record. It showcases verified metrics such as total completed events, average ratings, verified lifetime footfall, sponsor link clicks, and global lead conversion rates.
-
The Sponsorship Engine: Organizers can secure upfront capital through two distinct models: Itemized Sponsorship (listing specific needs like a DJ booth with individual price tags) and Crowdfunded Sponsorship (setting a flat minimum or maximum rate expectation).
-
Escrow & Transaction Security: When a sponsor backs an event, funds are securely frozen in their digital wallet. Once the creator accepts the sponsorship, the funds are officially released, and the item is marked as secured to prevent duplicate funding from other brands.
-
Dynamic Sponsorship Tiers: Creators define Standard, Premium, and Headline sponsor tiers using a Drag-and-Drop Perk Customizer. Perks include pinned chat shoutouts, "Presented by" co-branding, and Automated Ticket Granting, which instantly mints and deposits VIP tickets directly into the sponsor's wallet upon funding acceptance.
-
Instant Recap Generator: Immediately after an event ends, Pullup automatically packages performance data, 5-star reviews, and turnout metrics into sleek, ready-to-share graphic stat cards.
The Attendee Experience
-
Crowdsourced Memories: The platform operates on the philosophy that "the crowd is the camera". Attendees contribute their raw POVs and unfiltered highlights into a shared grid, immortalizing the collective experience.
-
Event Discovery & Verified Vibes: Users can navigate live highlights on a map to find events and read raw reactions and ratings from people who actually attended.
Creator Verification & Trust System
Pullup uses a metric-driven verification system based on actual in-app behavior, specifically evaluating the total number of completed events and the completion rate.
-
New (Level 1): Creators with zero completed events are restricted to a $500 maximum sponsorship request cap for their first event to limit platform liability and sponsor risk. They can link external portfolios (like Instagram or X handles) as a secondary filter to prove their real-world reputation.
-
Rising (Level 2): Creators who have successfully completed 1 to 3 events unlock a $2,000 request cap.
-
Verified: Creators meeting the full platform metrics unlock an unlimited sponsorship request cap and receive immediate fund releases from escrow.
Developer Ecosystem & APIs
-
Checkout: Enables ticket purchase surfaces directly from a developer's own website or server, sending buyers to Pullup Pay.
-
Moments: An event highlight API that fetches paginated highlight data and assets to build custom event experiences.
-
Webhooks: Provides signed purchase notifications and instant automated data delivery for external testing and endpoints.

Here I am — indie developers supporting my family — I've paid Apple over a million dollars. And Meta has paid Apple $100 a year for 17 years. When you just look at it as a logical person in 2025, that just seems bananas.
The free-app loophole means indie developers subsidise Meta's billion-dollar iOS business
Apple's 70/30 model was designed for paid apps — it was never supposed to handle an ecosystem where companies like Meta, Airbnb, and Uber make billions from iOS without paying a cent in commissions. The result is a structurally inverted fee system where small subscription developers carry the burden and trillion-dollar corporations do not. This asymmetry is now a mainstream developer grievance that will shape every App Store policy debate of the next decade.
When you just ship the app you get this famous app store boost but then over time it fades away and then I see if it keeps going down or it's kind of stabilized or even growing and if the app is not sinking it means it has potential...I do revisit apps that show organic traction or retention...I start improving them do some polishing do some bug fixes and add ads.
Use The App Store Launch Boost As A Free A/B Test For Which Apps Deserve Investment
Max treats every launch as a data probe: ship lean, watch what the App Store's launch boost reveals, and only reinvest in apps whose curves flatten or grow after the bump fades. Winners get polish, bug fixes, and paid ads; losers stay shipped-and-forgotten — turning the portfolio into a self-selecting investment funnel.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
