Venu for students
Your matchmaker,
not your feed.
Venu finds you someone you're actually compatible with, picks a place near campus you'll both love, and handles the booking. You just show up.
Private pilot — hand-picked, we reach out personally.
How it works
Tell us once. We do the rest.
01
Tell us your type
Tell us what you're into and what you're not. We learn your type the way a friend would — no profile to build.
02
We find your match
Not the most-swiped profile. The person you're genuinely most compatible with, picked for you.
03
We lock a time and a place
We find a window you're both free and book a real venue near campus. You both just get the plan.
04
You show up
No endless chat that goes nowhere. Just a person, a place, and a time.
Private pilot
Hand-picked, not automated.
You won't download anything or build another profile to forget about. During our pilot, a real person reviews every match — we hand-pick a small group of London students and reach out personally. Curation, not a swipe feed.
The matching
How the matching works.
No black box and no popularity contest. Every match is reviewed by a real person, built around one goal: a compatible person, free at the same time as you, at a place you'd both pick.
Compatibility, scored
We measure how closely your tastes line up across the places you'd actually go — restaurants, bars, nightlife, activities — and average it into a single score.
Your mutual best fit
You're paired to your best mutual fit — not whoever swiped the most. If either of you would pass, you're never shown each other.
A real time, a real place
We only match people with at least an hour free together in the next two weeks, then route you to a real venue near campus, ranked by what you both love.
Where you'll actually meet
A person, and a place.
Every match comes with a real venue near campus, picked from the modes you both score highest on — not a vague “you two should grab a coffee.”
Restaurants
A proper first dinner, somewhere you'd both actually pick.
Bars & pubs
Low-key drinks near campus when a meal's too much, too soon.
Nightlife
If you both live for it, we'll point you at the right room.
Activities
Something to do, not just something to sit through.
Trust & safety
Students only. Consent first.
Students only
We confirm a current university email — .ac.uk or .edu — before you can match. No randoms.
Your data, your call
We only use what you tell us to find better matches. Leave any time and we forget you.
Consent first
Anything sensitive about who you're looking for is opt-in, with clear consent, in line with UK data law.
First on campus
Be first to get matched.
Drop your university email and we'll reach out personally when a place opens in the pilot.
