How it works ↓Coming to iPhone and Android.

How it works

Three steps.

Set it up once, then carry your phone.

  1. Make a character.

    Pick a face, a status, and what you're up for. Photos are for the people you choose.

  2. Your phone notices what's nearby.

    NearPass is our local Bluetooth protocol, on the same chip that pairs your earbuds. Phones find each other across a café, a campus, an airport terminal.

  3. Get a ping. Say hi.

    A ping fires only when each side says yes. Accept it and the chat opens.

Why Mippo

Built different on purpose.

Every choice here is about getting you to someone worth meeting.

Avatar-first identity.

Share photos and videos in your Moments. Friends can like and comment, and you can keep any entry to yourself.

Deep interests, on your terms.

Pings follow what you're into. You pick how often, how far, and when.

Seven people in town with Mippo on their phones. A ping arcs from one phone to another, carrying the interests the two of them share. The slider sets how often pings land and how much two people must share.

Mip, your AI assistant.

It lives inside Mippo. Soon it will find the people you ask for, and one day your Mip will talk to a friend's Mip to plan a surprise.

Soon Mip will find you a Sunday running buddy, someone to practise Spanish with, or people up for board games.

Privacy by design

Your data is yours.

You decide who finds you, who sees you and who can reach you.

  • Anonymous over NearPass.

    Your phone sends an anonymous ID over Bluetooth that changes every few minutes, so nothing can follow you across the day.

  • Pings are opt-in on each side.

    Block someone and they leave your pings and your chats.

  • Nobody sees you in passing.

    The people you cross see that someone is nearby. Your name and your character arrive when you're friends.

  • You choose what's visible.

    Friends see your whole profile. A circle you join sees your name, your character and your bio.

  • Private chats.

    Your messages are encrypted on the way to us and while we store them.

  • Full GDPR rights, on by default.

    Export or delete everything, instantly.

Circles

Proximity, but at scale.

Places you join on Mippo, full of the people you keep crossing paths with. Any member can start an event, and only that circle sees it.

Why we're building this

The next social network is the people you'd get along with, wherever you cross paths.

The problem

Social media made us less social. We got good at scrolling past people.

Why now

Your phone has been quietly talking to other phones over Bluetooth for years. Nobody built the social layer on top.

What we believe

You should meet people because you were actually there. What you show, and who sees it, stays yours.

We're a small team building this for the places you pass through every day. It's the app we wished existed every time we hurried past someone interesting and never said anything.

The next person you meet is already around you.

Mippo opens soon. Get on the list and you'll be there from day one.
