apreet shows busy travelers who's worth meeting wherever they land.

No more missed connections. See which of your contacts are nearby, relevant, and reachable on every trip.

What is apreet?

A travel networking app for people whose calendar spans many cities

apreet is a travel networking app for business travelers, founders, executives, sales teams, speakers, and frequent travelers. It builds a lightweight itinerary from your calendar and shows which people from your network may be in the same city, airport, or travel leg, so you can arrange useful face-to-face meetings before you arrive.

apreet is not a new network to build. It works with the people already in your address book. It finds useful in-person meetings hidden inside your existing travel calendar and contact list.

Business travel networking, without the cold outreach

apreet works with the people already in your address book. There is no new network to build and no strangers to message.

Find contacts near your next trip

See which friends, colleagues, and customers will be in the same city, airport, or travel leg, before you fly.

Turn airports, conferences, and city visits into real meetings

Every trip already passes people you know. apreet surfaces them, so a layover or a conference becomes a coffee or a dinner.

Built for privacy, not broadcasting

apreet reads only calendar dates and locations, never your notes, and never posts on your behalf. Matches stay private and mutual.

How it works

From your calendar to a face-to-face meeting

Four steps that turn upcoming trips into chances to meet the people you already know.

1. Read your trip signals

apreet builds a lightweight itinerary from your calendar dates and locations, the cities and airports where you'll be over the next four weeks. It never reads your event notes.

2. Map your contacts

It places the people in your address book by city or address, using just enough to work out who is near you.

3. Find the overlaps

apreet matches the two, leg by leg, to show who you already know will be in the same city, airport, or travel leg.

4. Reach out before you arrive

Message one person or a group ahead of time: coffee, dinner, an airport meet-up. Plan it instead of leaving it to coincidence.

Solutions

Pick the angle that fits your travel

Use case

For travelers & networkers

Why apreet?

Built for people whose lives happen in many cities. Travel responsibly, and get the most out of your time.

Whom it is for

Heavy travelers of all kinds: speakers, trainers, executives, account managers, business developers, networkers, socializers, connectors, and information gatherers, or any team working from different locations.

Why we are doing this

Meeting in real life, more than ever, can make a huge difference. If you like face-to-face meetings, apreet is for you.

The promise

Turn travel into more opportunities, deeper relationships, and better conversations, by meeting more of the people you already know, face to face, while you travel.

Privacy

Built for private travel context

apreet is designed around sensitive data: contacts, calendar, and location. Here is what we do, and do not do, with it.

We do not read calendar notes

apreet uses calendar dates and the location field to build your itinerary. We do not read or transfer the description or notes section of your calendar events.

We do not write to your calendar or address book

apreet never creates or changes calendar events, and never adds, edits, or removes entries in your address book.

We do not share contact data with third parties

Contact data is processed internally to find overlaps with your network. We do not share it with third parties for marketing, and apreet does not post to your social profiles or send mass invites.

The Founder's Story

Why we started building apreet, and the moment that made it obvious something had to change.

It all started in New York

When traveling to New York I wanted to meet as many of my friends and contacts as possible. So I reached out to 16 of them on LinkedIn. Half of them, eight, were out of town. I thought, maybe at the same time, eight other people I know from around the world are in town while I am there. How would I know who they are?

A status update on X or LinkedIn works sometimes, but it gets buried fast in the timeline, even more so today, with algorithms aggressively promoting content that drives interactions. Nearby Friends on Facebook is interesting, too, for people who have opted in and still use Facebook.

Still, I'd prefer to set up my meetings in advance. Real-time matches are only so good. Why is there not a solution that lets me see who'll be in town?

So my team and I started building apreet. Who are you going to meet next week? Whom can you meet anywhere you go?

Getting over these pain points

Working out of town? Meet an old friend or acquaintance to get your mind off your project and spend some quality time.
A meeting got cancelled. Whom else could you meet?
Tired of room service? Find a friend in town for dinner.
Want to meet more than one person? Select your recipients and message all of them at once.
At the airport: who else will be there? Maybe grab a coffee, catch up, or share a cab into town.

Why it matters

The Connected Mind

A group of friends and colleagues smiling together

apreet inspires encounters at the outer edges of your network. Why does that matter? In Where Good Ideas Come From, Steven Johnson observes: we've found so many new ways to reach out and find other people that have that missing piece to complete the idea we're working on. Malcolm Gladwell makes a similar point in The Tipping Point: new ideas often come from people on the outer layers of our networks.

Since opportunity can show up anywhere, we built apreet to help you reach out to all the people in your network, wherever you are. Ready to meet more people in real life? Make your travels more useful and more enjoyable.
