Travel feels emptier than it should.
You can book a room in Bangkok in two taps. You can book a tuk-tuk tour, a temple guide, a cooking class, a rooftop dinner. What you can't book is the one thing that actually changes a trip — a local who shows you the city the way they live it.
A friend in every city.
Greety is the platform for meeting verified locals across Southeast Asia for dining, drinks, and the kind of night you'd never plan yourself. Premium-curated, on-platform-chat, no guidebook script.
We started in Bangkok because Bangkok is the city where the gap is sharpest — fifteen million tourists a year, and the only way to meet a local is luck. By the end of this year we'll be in six cities. By 2028 we'll be the way Southeast Asia gets seen.
Three trends colliding.
SEA tourism is back, plus 30%.
Inbound visitors to Southeast Asia exceeded pre-pandemic by 2025. Bangkok alone hit 32M international arrivals. The growth curve is steeper than the rest of the world combined.
Solo and small-group travel doubled.
Solo travel from Tier-1 markets (US, UK, Australia, Singapore, Japan) is up 2x since 2020. The single biggest unmet need solo travellers report? "I want to meet someone local but the apps for that are gross."
Travel apps stopped feeling human.
Klook, Viator, GetYourGuide all sell the same packaged experiences. Airbnb killed Experiences. Tinder isn't safe. There's no premium platform for the meet-a-local need — and the wedge is real.
Six cities, one platform.
Each city goes live with a curated cohort of 30-150 hosts. Then we open onboarding wide.
