Meet new people in Leipzig
New in Leipzig, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Leipzig, from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Leipzig is the Berlin of Saxony: affordable, creative and bursting with energy. With 41,000 students and some of the lowest rents in Germany, Leipzig is a paradise for the younger generation. The Karli (Karl-Liebknecht-Straße), the Connewitz neighbourhood and the former industrial halls in the west host an alternative cultural scene that is second to none. Events in Leipzig take place in factory halls, on derelict lots and in historic shopping arcades.

New in Leipzig? Here is how to connect
Leipzig has around 40,900 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 Leipzig, you see in the app what is happening near you, join spontaneous events or start your own, from a casual meetup to Karl-Liebknecht-Straße (Karli). No pressure, no dating, just real people from Leipzig. S'Up is launching soon on the App Store for iPhone; until then you can join the waitlist.
