The prototype

To get it, touch it.

No videos, no static mockups. The live product, right in your browser.

Conceptual prototype. This interface exists to explain the LoopUp concept. The final app design will be different, polished during development. What matters here is the behavior.

Open it on desktop.

The prototype is optimized for desktop. Open joinloopup.com from your computer to try it in full.

Tested with 100+ real users.

For you · user

Why you'll want to download it.

Your nights out, organized the way they always should have been. With your groups at the center.

Your crowd
has a home

High-school friends, your football crew, colleagues: each one is a loop living inside the app. You plan there, not across four parallel chats.

Meet through
friends of friends

New people always show up through a bridge: someone you already know introduces you. No cold-meets with strangers.

Stop endless
group chats

"You in?" "Maybe" "What time?" "Dunno". LoopUp solves the choreography: quorum, deadlines, automatic confirmations. You vote, you don't type.

Three taps.
You're in.

From "let's do something" to a booked restaurant in three taps. Group decisions have never been this quick.

For your business

Fill your venue with ready-to-go groups.

Stop selling one customer at a time. Sell to groups that have already decided together.

Reach groups,
not individuals

A promo on LoopUp speaks to pre-formed circles ready to decide together. 5× the conversion of an individual promo: whoever shows up brings the others.

!

No more "we're trying to plan it" forever

Most events a group would love to attend never get booked: 100 messages, no one decides, the date passes. With LoopUp the whole group is carried together from invite to ticket.

Demand data
nobody else has

Which events a circle considers, who the decision leaders are, how a choice spreads. Insights no individual-centric social network can collect.

Why us

Two co-founders. Flatmates, two years ago.

CityLife, 2024

We ended up flatmates by chance. Opposite hours, opposite weeks. One shared ritual: a glass of amaro in the evening, on the couches. Conversations that turned dumb ideas into entire worlds.

Wrappers

Before LoopUp we tried another idea: frozen filled flatbreads for time-poor university students. Kitchen prototypes, feasibility studies on campus. It worked — but it wasn't the thing. It became our training ground: lived problem → product → market.

Viale Argonne

A three-room flat, just the two of us. The house quickly became a crossroads. Giulia (one of Fortunato's Milan circles), Davide (another circle, through Fortunato's sister), Natale (a lifelong friend from Calabria), Eleonora (a third group), and more. At the start of the year none of them knew each other. Giulia and Davide ended up together. And something bigger: when Fortunato left for Erasmus, those people — who existed as a group only because of us — rented an apartment together. A family of strangers, who no longer needed us to keep going.

Since June 2025

Fortunato postponed his graduation session. We moved both beds into the same room: in the middle, two PCs with dual monitors and a TV. The other had to be able to see what you were doing at any moment. March 2026: first mockup. May 2026: top-three at the SVST Hackathon in Salerno. Today: We Make Future, Bologna.
