How MapMates works
A simple way to move from online profiles to real conversations.
What can you find people for?
Start with a simple reason to meet. Keep it casual.
Not another social feed
MapMates is built around place, intent, and real-world connection.
For people new to a city
Moved abroad, travelling slowly, working remotely, or just trying to meet people nearby.
Map-first, not feed-first
No endless scrolling. Open the map, see who is around, and start with a simple hello.
Privacy first
You control what you share. Your exact location does not need to be public.
Built for real life
The goal is not likes or followers. The goal is helping people meet offline.
Meet people in popular cities
Start with cities where expats, nomads, and remote workers already gather.
Bring your group onto the map
Run a coworking space, founder circle, student group, or local community? Create a shared MapMates space so members can find each other nearby and meet in real life.
New somewhere?
Add yourself to the map and make it easier for the right people nearby to find you.
