Why I built Meshup
“Making real friends took two years. Every single time.”

Twenty years. Four cities. Four countries — Singapore, Zürich, New York, Cologne.

Every time I moved, the career sorted itself out within months. But making real friends — people to run with, grab a drink with, actually do things with — took two years. Every. Single. Time.

I thought it was just me. Then I realized: everyone I met had the exact same problem. Expats, locals who’d just moved neighbourhoods, people who’d lived there for years but never found their group.

It’s not shyness. It’s not your personality. It’s that nobody built the right infrastructure for real-life connection.

Until now. Meshup is the infrastructure for real-life connection.

Built for Singapore first — then for every city where making friends shouldn’t feel like starting over.
The hard part is trust

Trust, built in.

Most social apps can match you. They don’t solve the scary part: who’s real?Meshup uses Merits — a reputation score earned through real participation.

Earned, not bought
Get Merits by showing up, hosting, and contributing — not by flexing online.
Safer first meetups
See who’s reliable at a glance before you commit your time.
A reputation that follows you
Build trust across interests, communities, and events.

Interests are the key

Meshup’s USP is simple: we don’t connect you by profiles — we connect you by what you actually want to do. That’s why meetups feel natural, not forced.

Instant common ground
You already share the same activity — no awkward cold starts.
