Connect IRL

The most impactful moments in our lives are centered around events.

Getaway is a first-of-its-kind EaaS (Events-as-a-Service) that helps omnichannel organizations in the health, tech, CPG, and lifestyle space connect with both its customers and employees while giving back free health events to tourism-affected local populations (I.e. Miami, Denver, and Las Vegas Retreat — with over 100 events a year and counting)

Instead of detached happy hours and one-off offsites organized by overworked managers, organizations can create multiple re-occurring IRL touchpoints throughout the year to build on new and existing relationships by partnering with an EaaS platform that does the leg work for you and reduce production costs by up to 86%.

What We Need & What You Get

We are an events agency focused on impact, and the funding we receive goes to:

  • Product development. (Yes! We have an app).
  • Supporting our local talent (who we call co-creators) to host better free events!
  • Offering bigger and better experiences for higher on-site engagement.

The Impact

We are community-first, and health-driven. Our mission is to host 1 million free health events by the year 2048.

We believe better healthcare starts with accessible preventative medicine, which to us, is our fitness coaches, retreat organizers, therapists, and mentors who empower us to take proactive control of our health.

Our platform:

  • Will change how businesses see competition, thanks to incentivized collaborative offsites like “gftooo by Getaway.” You can learn more at our showcase page on LinkedIn.
  • Has already helped thousands of people since 2019, and in 2023 alone has expanded from Miami to Denver to Colombia.
  • Was built by a bootstrapping personal trainer, who started these events out of necessity. 

Risks & Challenges

Events by nature have low profit margins. Producing in-person events requires a large upfront investment that can exhaust smaller companies. 

  • We recognize that scale and overall reach can help make up for these margins. Our platform enables us to smooth workflows, retain our talent, and incentivize new recruits.
  • We plan to partner with aligned companies to offset costs and enable them to create authentic experiences that add to each of our events.

Other Ways You Can Help

If you can’t financially support, sharing is caring! 

  • Share this with someone who wants to see more positive change for all.
  • Share this to your social to encourage someone else to go for it. If a simple personal trainer can do it, why not anyone else?
