$25M for the Antidote to “Always On”
BoomPop Team · 11/12/2025We just raised $25 million to make ‘corporate’ feel human again.
Because here’s the truth: people are tired of contactless encounters.
Endless optimization has flattened everything, from how we work to how we connect. We scroll without feeling, swipe without thinking, and call it “efficiency.”
But meaning needs a little spark. A little chemistry (like meeting up somewhere new, in person) is the cure for a society bored to death with the expected, halogen-light-powered status quo.
In a world of screens and constant feeds, logging off and being present is the greatest freedom.
This is why BoomPop exists. We’re an AI event planning platform built for humans. Our tool takes care of the logistics so people can do what technology can’t: connect, laugh, experience, and feel.
Our tech suggests (and books) the what and where. You and our event pros bring the why.
Together, we’re building gatherings that remind people they aren’t pixels on a screen.
It’s the same reason dumb phones are back, why people are logging off, why imperfection suddenly feels like a luxury. We’re craving what’s real. And BoomPop gives you that presence.

This round was led by Wing VC, with Atomic, Acme Capital, Four Rivers, Thayer Investment Partners, the Fund of Operators Guild, Gaingels, Zypsy, and legends like Alex Rodriguez (14x MLB All-Star and investor), Brian O’Malley (HotelTonight, Fora Travel), Dane Glasgow (CPO of Paramount), Christopher Payne (former President of DoorDash), and many other leading Silicon Valley founders. Together, they help fuel our mission to bring soul back into the systems we rely on.
The future of work isn’t contactless. It’s tangible. Full of energy, presence, and people.
