Questions about Joya

Joya is a new social platform that turns the wish to do something into real-life meetups.

A VYB is a real-life meetup with 3 to 6 people who want to do something similar at the same time. For example coffee, a walk, food, a sunset, or a casual evening out.

No. Joya is not built as a dating app. It is about meeting people in real life, doing something together, and making social moments easier to happen.

Joya is launching city by city. The first VYBs are planned for Mainz.

You create a VYB request and say what you feel like doing and when you are available. Joya then tries to form a fitting small group and suggest a suitable meeting place.

No. That is exactly what Joya is designed to make easier. You do not need to start a group chat, message people one by one, or organise everything yourself.

Yes. Joya is built so you can easily step into real-life social moments, even when you are starting alone.

Not always. A VYB depends on whether enough fitting people nearby are available at the right time and want to do something similar.

VYBs take place in public places. For example cafés, bars, parks, or other locations that fit the situation.

Safety is a central part of Joya. VYBs are designed as small group meetups in public places. You are not meeting just one random stranger, and you can always leave if you do not feel comfortable.

Joya is free at launch. Our first priority is to understand which VYBs people actually use and how we can make the real-life meetups as good as possible.
