List your tour with a minimum quorum. We collect deposits,
track progress, and only charge cards when you're ready to run.
You commit to suppliers when birders commit to you.
Not to gamble on viability, chase payments, or drown in admin.
"You've paid the boat. The lodge. The catering. You need six participants. You have three. Now you're praying strangers find your Facebook post before you lose $4,000."
On Quorum
Tours only go live when they hit your minimum. Cards aren't charged until you're ready to run.
"You spent thirty years learning to identify every warbler by ear. Now you spend thirty hours a week in Gmail, chasing payments, answering the same questions, updating spreadsheets."
On Quorum
Bookings, deposits, pre-trip info, and confirmations—all automated. You focus on guiding.
"There are birders right now searching for exactly what you offer. But they can't find you. You're not on the first page of Google. You're posting to Facebook and hoping."
On Quorum
Birders search by species. They get notified when you list a tour matching their chase list.
Four steps. No surprises. Every tour that reaches Quorum runs.
Tell us what you're running—species, dates, price, minimum participants. No complex forms. No 47-field dashboards.
Your tour appears in search. Birders who want your target species get notified. When they book, their card is held—not charged.
When you hit your minimum, the tour goes green. All participants are notified. Cards are charged simultaneously.
Commit to your suppliers with confidence. The participants are confirmed. The deposits are in. Do what you love.
Example: Pelagic charter — 6 minimum, 8 maximum
Forming (cards held, not charged)
Quorum reached (cards charged)
You set the minimum and maximum. Everyone sees the progress.
Your price is what birders pay. We take our cut only when you succeed.
Flat commission. Forever.
Only on successful bookings. If your tour doesn't run, you pay nothing.
