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
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.
