About
Have you ever wanted to buy your friend a drink, to celebrate something exciting… but you no longer live in the same town?
This is why we created GYDO
We live in a hyper connected world. Our tribe is global. Thanks to social media, they are just a click away. But sometimes we want to do more than just “react” or give a “Thumbs Up.”
Sometimes we want to give our friends a gift they will truly enjoy. We may not be able to be there physically, but with GYDO you can still join the celebration by giving your friend a drink at their favorite bar.
