How it works

Applying takes a few minutes.

No app to download and no account to create. Just the application.

  1. Apply in a few minutes

    Eleven short questions, in English or Turkish. Free, and it commits you to nothing.

  2. We look at fit

    We’re building a small community around fit and intent.

  3. Hear from us when the beta opens

    If UpDate looks like a good fit, we’ll email you when the Istanbul beta opens. Applying doesn’t guarantee a place.

Why UpDate

You have a full life.
Let’s make room for more.

Hundreds of swipes, zero plans?

Less noise. Better company.

A considered community: quality over quantity, with more room for intention.

“hey” … “hey?” … nothing.

More room for real intention.

A community of people who know what they’re looking for.

Less of
  • The endless scroll
  • The conversation that goes nowhere
  • The feeling of starting over
Dating feels like admin?

Your evening stays yours.

Dating that deserves a place in your life, without becoming your whole evening.

  • Good company
  • Everything else
Explaining your whole world, again?

Better fit.

People with similar lifestyles, ambition and expectations.

Who’s really behind a profile?

Verification, in development.

We haven’t finalized the method. We’ll share the details as the product takes shape.

Why not every city at once?

Istanbul first.

We’d rather get one city right, built around how Istanbul works after six.
