For organizers
The European Meetup alternative in Basel
Bring your Basel community somewhere built for organizers — not for selling your members attention back to you.
At the corner of three countries, Basel's communities are as trinational as the city itself — Rhine swims in summer, cross-border meetups, and a tight-knit cultural scene around the Altstadt.

Why it’s the right move
Never pay to reach your own people
Free to start and run your group. You pay only for what helps you grow — never the basics, your data, or messaging the members you brought.
Your members are never the product
No ads, no tracking pixels, no selling anyone’s data. The people in your community are the point — never the inventory.
Your data lives in Europe
EU-resident and GDPR-native by design — not a US platform with a European checkbox bolted on.
Your community stays yours
No lock-in: export your group’s data any time. Whether your members move with you is their choice — not a fee we charge.
You set the trust bar
Ask for phone or ID verification when it matters, screen newcomers, and shape who can join — controls built for real-world safety.
Define the space you actually want
Scope a group by region, language, and what it’s really about — so the right people find it and it stays on topic.
Alive between gatherings
A built-in feed keeps the conversation going between gatherings — your group is a community, not just a calendar of dates.
Everyone in their own language
Run your group in your own language — and be discovered automatically by the people who speak it.
