Yaycay started on a holiday that nearly broke the person who planned it.

We are parents who build software. This is the tool we needed and could not find.

The trip that started it

In {year}, {Founder name} planned a {destination} trip for {family details: partner, kids and ages, the allergy if applicable}. The planning took {N} weeks of evenings. The trip itself was good, mostly. But somewhere around day four, standing outside a restaurant translating an ingredients list on a phone while everyone waited, came the thought every planning parent has had: I am working. I am on holiday, and I am working. The spreadsheet came home with three pages of "next time" notes. Yaycay is those notes, built properly.

The people behind it

A small team. You will probably get an email from one of us.

{Name}

Founder

{Two kids, one shellfish allergy, one laminated itinerary she is not proud of.}

{Name}

{Role}

{One real line: kids and ages, the allergy they manage, the destination they over-plan.}

How we decide things

  • The kids are the spine of the plan, not a setting.
  • We would rather lose a sale than overstate what we can verify, especially about allergies.
  • One holiday, one price; we will not invent a subscription to please a spreadsheet.
  • The during-trip and the after matter as much as the plan, because that is where the memories actually happen.
