Halcy
Group travel app for discovering, planning and booking
The founders
The company
Halcy is a Stockholm-based group travel app that lets friends and family discover places together, co-edit a shared trip plan, vote when they disagree, and keep chat and shared costs in one place. It curates more than 400,000 restaurants, hotels, bars and experiences that users can search by atmosphere or place, with an AI agent that researches and compares options while travellers confirm every payment themselves.
Group trips are still planned across a mess of group chats, spreadsheets and a dozen booking tabs — Halcy folds discovery, co-planning and booking into one app. With flights, hotels and restaurant reservations each booked in their own checkout at all-in prices, the pitch is fewer tools and fewer surprises at payment.
The company says it's built for consumers travelling with friends and family, tackling the friction of planning as a group rather than a solo traveller. Founders Alva Åqvist and Leo Gustafsson are building toward a public launch out of Stockholm.
Two founders are taking on a crowded consumer travel market with a clear, narrow focus on the group-planning problem. With no flags and limited public pedigree, the early signal is product clarity rather than track record.
