Built on real school history

Find the classmates you thought you lost forever.

Facebook and Instagram are full of fake usernames. BatchMates uses your real school history — the exact school, the exact year — to find people who were literally in the same building as you.

The Problem

Searching for old classmates today is a frustrating mess.

You open Facebook and search your old school's name. What comes back? Pages of results — people you've never heard of, profile pictures from 2011, and usernames like xXCoolKid2007Xx and DarkLord_99. You can't tell if any of them actually went to your school.

BatchMates takes a different approach entirely. Instead of asking "who are you online?" we ask "where were you, and when?" — verifiable, real, unfakeable history.

No school listed. No year. No way to tell if this is someone you know.

Add every school you attended with the exact years. We use this, not your username.

02

We find your overlap

Our algorithm finds everyone who was in the same school at the same time as you — even if you never knew each other.

03

Reconnect

Send a connection request, start chatting, share memories. The community you forgot you had.
