Katija Buslje Odoemelam.
A creative ceramist and entrepreneur, envisioned Nextmatchup as a way to foster deep, meaningful connections in an age of digital detachment.
Inspired by the organic connections found in artisanal communities and social dining experiences, she and her Husband designed Nextmatchup to bridge the gap between digital and real-life interactions.
About
We currently host meetups in 11 cities, with more cities being added as our community grows. Whether you are looking to spark a romantic connection, share a meal through Dinner with Strangers, or exchange ideas at a Meetup with Creatives, NextMatchup creates spaces where people can connect beyond the screen.
Each event is organized in real venues, vetted for comfort and authenticity. Users simply register, choose their preferred meetup category, and we handle the rest, matching participants, confirming spots, and ensuring everyone has a memorable experience.
NextMatchup isn’t just another app, it’s a growing global movement to reconnect people through real experiences, one city at a time.
