Looking for someone to run with tomorrow morning, ride with this weekend, or get back into swimming without going alone? Smatchy connects you with people near you, at your level, for the activity you actually want to do. Like BlaBlaCar, but for sport: someone proposes, others join, and everyone knows who they are going with. THE SPORTS AVAILABLE Running, trail running, cycling, swimming, hiking, climbing, tennis, padel, stand-up paddle, badminton, table tennis, basketball, football, golf, trampoline and strength training. We add more every quarter, and members vote for what comes next. WHAT YOU CAN DO Create an activity and see who signs up. Join the ones happening near you, today, tomorrow or this weekend. Join groups in your town and meet the same people again. Chat before and after, with the activity or with the group. Find partners at your level, because level is set sport by sport. A PLACE PEOPLE COME TO FOR SPORT Smatchy is not a dating app and will not become one. Every profile is tied to real activities, every member can report another, and women's safety was a design constraint, not an afterthought. Paid activities go through a deposit, like a booking: the organiser knows the people who signed up will show up, and they know the activity will happen. ALREADY NOTICED Public Favourite at the Go Entrepreneurs 2024 show, and Top 100 Best Sport Business Projects in the Choiseul ranking. Download Smatchy, say what you play, and see what is happening around you this week.
