is shutting down 😔

I won't bury the lede. We've been unable to build a sustainable business, and sadly, we must shut down. For the longer goodbye, keep on reading.

Life is so much richer when you're part of communities. That was the inspiration that led me to start Clubsum.

I felt that firsthand when I joined the San Francisco Triathlon Club many years ago. Finding that community was such a highlight of that time of my life. I pushed myself to the extreme and finished an Ironman! But more importantly, I made some awesome friends along the way.

As I got more involved, I noticed how awful our tools were and how much they were holding the community back. Organizers were fighting an uphill battle - outdated websites, complicated processes, and lots of admin work.

I wanted to fix that. To take on the boring stuff so organizers can focus on what matters, bringing people together.

While this is disappointing and not the outcome I hoped for, I take some satisfaction in knowing I made a small difference.

Thank you for your trust, and shout out to all the unsung organizers.
