Built to get you off your phone
glup is the app that gets you off the app. We help people discover real-life sessions, walk into venues and connect face to face, build earned reputations, and support the local businesses that make neighbourhoods worth living in.
Real-life connections in a digital world
Social apps made it easy to connect online and hard to connect in person. We think that is backwards. glup exists to flip the equation — use technology to make it effortless to discover, join, and host real-world sessions with real people nearby.
Every feature we build is measured against one question: does this get someone off their phone and into the same room as someone new?
IRL
In real life. That is the whole point.
Built in Singapore, designed for SEA
Singapore is one of the most connected cities in the world — yet loneliness is rising. We started here because we know the problem first-hand. Our infrastructure runs on servers in Asia-Southeast, our first five languages include Thai, Malay, Bahasa Indonesia, and Mandarin, and our map data prioritises local businesses over global chains.
What we stand for
Community First
Every decision starts with the community. We build features that bring people together, not keep them scrolling.
Safety Always
Our Sentinel Protocol safety framework is baked into every interaction — from first RSVP to post-session rating and reporting.
Local First
We prioritise local businesses, local data, and local languages. Neighbourhoods are our unit of scale, not countries.
Fun Matters
Social apps should feel alive. Sparks, Rep tags, XP, leaderboards, and tier progression exist because a little play goes a long way.
A small team with a big mission
We are a small, focused team of engineers and designers based in Singapore. We ship fast, listen to our community, and believe the best product decisions come from using the product every day.
Disconnect, to Connect.
Join thousands discovering real-life sessions, earning XP, and supporting local businesses in Singapore and beyond.
