New in Hamburg? Here is how to connect
Hamburg has around 96,300 students at 4 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 Hamburg, you see in the app what is happening near you, join spontaneous events or start your own, from a casual meetup to Schanzenviertel. No pressure, no dating, just real people from Hamburg. S'Up is launching soon on the App Store for iPhone; until then you can join the waitlist.
