Yellow Moon Software

What Yellow Moon Software does

Yellow Moon Software is a privately held, founder-led software company headquartered in the Orlando, Florida metro area (Altamonte Springs), operating a suite of four browser-based SaaS products aimed at event hosts: ClueRally (scavenger hunts), FastRounds (speed networking), PlaceZap (street-view geography game), and DateRounds (speed dating). All products share a unified architectural philosophy: zero personal data collection, no account creation, no app downloads, and a three-code access system (5-digit host code, 5-digit event code, 6-digit attendee access code) so that any participant can join via a browser in under five minutes. Each product is deployed on its own dedicated domain (cluerally.com, fastrounds.com, placezap.com, daterounds.com) and operates as an independent web application with its own pricing.

Technically, the products are standard web SaaS — the proprietary pieces are the code-routed authentication model, the synchronized count-down timers across hosts and participants, the rotation/matching logic (Fairness constraints for networking and dating, distance-based scoring for PlaceZap), and a privacy-first data lifecycle that auto-deletes event data after 7 to 90 days. The firmographic short description also references a planned 'consumer automotive transparency' product line, though no such product is yet on the public product page.

Commercially, the company runs a freemium, product-led growth model with free trials on all products requiring no credit card; specific paid tier pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is entirely direct-to-consumer via product websites and a YouTube tutorial channel, with the founder (Paul Mihalick) personally handling support. Target customer segments span horizontal use cases — corporate team-building and mixers, social/party hosts, classroom and remote-meeting facilitators, and dating event organizers — placing the company in a long-tail, SMB-and-individual segment with no named enterprise customers or recurring anchor accounts identified in the data.

Emerging players

• Whova: Event management app with networking, agenda, and engagement features. Partial overlap with FastRounds' speed-networking and engagement use cases.
• Kahoot!: Game-based learning and audience engagement platform often used in team meetings and events. Overlaps with PlaceZap's group-game use case for corporate gatherings.

Broad incumbents

• Hopin: Event platform with broad virtual and in-person event capabilities. Competes for the same event organizer customer, though at a much larger scale and feature set.
• Social Tables: Event planning and seating/management software for corporate and social events. Targets overlapping event organizer workflows.
• Bizzabo: Enterprise event experience platform covering registration, engagement, and analytics. Competes for the same corporate event-organizer buyer, especially for FastRounds' team-building use case.
• Eventbrite: Large-scale event ticketing and management platform. Broader incumbent that serves the same event organizers Yellow Moon Software targets, but with a much wider portfolio.
• Splash: Event marketing and management platform for branded corporate events. Overlaps with the corporate mixer and team building segment Yellow Moon Software serves.

Direct peers

• Goosechase: Scavenger hunt app platform for team building, orientation, and group events. Most directly comparable to ClueRally in product category, use case, and target event organizers.
• Scavify: Gamified scavenger hunt platform for corporate events, team building, and tourism. Overlaps directly with ClueRally's scavenger hunt use case.
• Actionbound: Interactive scavenger hunt and team experience platform for events and education. Closely comparable to ClueRally as an interactive, mobile-first event tool.
