Meet new people in Genf
New in Genf, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Genf, from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Geneva (Genf) lies at the southwestern tip of Lake Geneva and, with around 25,000 students at the Université de Genève, HES-SO Genève and the Geneva Graduate Institute, is an international university city. The Mediterranean-flavoured Carouge district, alternative Plainpalais and the Pâquis on the lake's right bank blend student pubs, culture and nightlife. If you study here, you meet up to swim at the Bains des Pâquis, catch concerts in the former factory L'Usine, or hit the flea market and skatepark on the Plaine de Plainpalais.

New in Genf? Here is how to connect
Genf has around 25,000 students at 3 universities, in theory the perfect setup to meet new people. And yet the start in a new city often feels lonely: the uni groups have long since formed, and spontaneous meetups die in endless WhatsApp groups where nobody ever commits.
That is exactly why we are building S'Up. Instead of sitting alone in Genf, you see in the app what is happening near you, join spontaneous events or start your own, from a casual meetup to Bains des Pâquis. No pressure, no dating, just real people from Genf. S'Up is launching soon on the App Store for iPhone; until then you can join the waitlist.
