About Midway@
We're revolutionizing how people meet by solving the age-old problem of finding the perfect spot that's fair for everyone.
Our Mission
Stop the endless "where should we meet?" text threads. We believe meeting up shouldn't be a logistical nightmare. Our AI-powered platform finds perfect meeting spots that balance travel times fairly for everyone in your group.
Whether you're planning a coffee catch-up, business meeting, or group celebration, Midway@ ensures nobody gets stuck with an unfair commute.
Why Midway@ is Different
Fair Travel Times
Unlike simple midpoint calculators, we optimize for actual travel time equity across different transportation modes - driving, walking, transit, and cycling.
AI-Powered Insights
Our advanced AI analyzes venue characteristics, reviews, and context to provide personalized recommendations that match your group's needs perfectly.

Effortless Sharing
Share meetup plans with a simple link. No app downloads, no registration required. Everyone can join and vote from any device, anywhere.
The Problem We Solve
The endless group chat: "Where should we meet?" leads to 47 messages, 12 different suggestions, and no decisions.
Unfair travel times: Someone always gets stuck with a 45-minute commute while others walk 5 minutes.
Poor venue choices: You end up at places that don't match your group's vibe, needs, or budget.
Decision paralysis: Too many options, not enough context, leading to postponed or cancelled meetups.
