Jackson Smith

Founder of GatherTrip

I'm Jackson Smith, a senior at the University of Kentucky studying finance and accounting.

I created GatherTrip to help people make practical plans for everyday decisions. Compare trip budgets, keep shared expenses straight, and put the plan in one place. Built for the person who always ends up organizing.

Three projects. One practical purpose.

These ventures are part of Greedcrest, the umbrella brand I founded.

I founded FirstKey, Payday Path, and GatherTrip to help with apartment decisions, paycheck planning, and group travel. Each focuses on useful tools that turn a collection of details into a clearer next step.

Explore GatherTrip

Agree on a per-person budget before choosing a destination. Include transportation, lodging, meals, activities, and a buffer. Track who paid each shared expense so the final split is transparent. This planner records expenses; it does not transfer money.
