What is SMSGO?

SMSGO is a patent-pending coordination engine that runs over text messaging. Group organizers set up an event with a threshold (e.g., "need 8 players"); members reply YES, NO, or STATUS from any phone; the moment threshold is reached, every YES gets a confirmation message automatically. No app downloads. No member accounts. Just text. The platform handles wave-based invitations, polls, multi-question availability surveys, automatic waitlists, and pay-as-you-go billing with member contribution support. Originally built to revive a dying neighborhood Ultimate Frisbee game, now serving four customer organizations.

Jonathon Lunardi, founder of SMSGO
Founder · Jonathon Lunardi

Jonathon Lunardi founded SMSGO in 2024 after watching his neighborhood Wednesday-and-Friday pickup Ultimate Frisbee game collapse through the winter of 2023. A software developer by trade and Silver Spring resident, he had seen the same coordination failure across every group he belonged to: dwindling attendance, scattered platforms, no central commitment mechanism. He spent the next eighteen months designing and building the threshold-driven coordination engine that now serves four customer organizations and one hundred forty-five members. The Silver Spring Ultimate game has run continuously for eighteen weeks without missing a session outside of weather cancellations. Jonathon currently runs SMSGO as a solo founder and is available for press interviews, partnership conversations, and product demonstrations.

Quotable highlights

"Lunardi the curious fixer moves in to the neighborhood, sees the situation, and starts a 10-year process to produce a responsive tool. Trial and error, yes, but finally perfection! Status: Game On!"
Wes Long · Commissioner emeritus, Silver Spring Ultimate
"Before SMSGO, I went six months without making it to a single game that reached our 8-player threshold. Now we have a game almost every Wednesday and Friday — it's just that easy."
Jessie Glickenstein · Frisbee player, Silver Spring
"I'm more confident the game will occur, and more likely to commit early to encourage others to play."
Mark · Frisbee player, Silver Spring
"None of those platforms were as seamless or as easy as Jonathon's text bot."
Alex Cronin · Frisbee player
