Meet new people in Potsdam
New in Potsdam, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Potsdam, from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Potsdam is the capital of Brandenburg, right on the doorstep of Berlin, and with around 30,000 students across twelve institutions it's a genuine student city. Alongside the large University of Potsdam, it's above all the Film University Babelsberg that shapes the creative scene around the Medienstadt and the Babelsberg studios. Between the Dutch Quarter, the student cultural centre KuZe and the Schiffbauergasse cultural site, there's a lot more going on here than just commuting to Berlin.

New in Potsdam? Here is how to connect
Potsdam has around 30,300 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 Potsdam, you see in the app what is happening near you, join spontaneous events or start your own, from a casual meetup to KuZe (student cultural centre). No pressure, no dating, just real people from Potsdam. S'Up is launching soon on the App Store for iPhone; until then you can join the waitlist.
