Proximity-based networking
DapUp connects you with people nearby who already share mutual contacts — turning missed moments into trusted connections.
How it works
DapUp works silently behind the scenes, scanning for people nearby who share your mutual contacts.
The moment someone who knows someone you know is within range, DapUp alerts you — not a stranger, someone connected.
Send a DapUp request. When they accept, you're connected and can message directly — no awkward cold introductions.
Every DapUp expands your trusted circle. The more you connect, the more opportunities surface around you.
Who's Around?
DapUp shows you people in your vicinity who share mutual contacts. From across the room to across the city — set your range and discover trusted connections you'd never know were there.
Smart Notifications
No spam. No noise. DapUp only notifies you when someone relevant surfaces nearby — someone who already shares your world through a mutual connection. Every ping means something.
Look Who's Here
The moment you join, DapUp shows who you already know on the app — and how many people are one introduction away. No empty feed. No cold start.
Profiles
Every profile shows what someone does, who they trust, and an opener DapUp writes for you — so your first hello is never cold.
Intentional Messaging
Once connected, message one-on-one or start a group chat. DapUp connections are built on trust and mutual context — not random swipes. These are conversations that go somewhere.

"We built DapUp because we kept meeting the right people one day too late."
DapUp was born from a simple observation: the most valuable connections in life aren't random — they're one degree away. We already know someone who knows the person across the room. We just never find out in time.
DapUp changes that. We're a New York-based team building technology for real human connection — not for screen time, not for followers, not for likes. For the moments that matter.
