About Traube
OUR STORY
Less time scrolling. More time together.
Traube is a Berlin app for finding what's on and actually going, with your friends. Here's why we're building it.
THE PROBLEM
Social media promised connection. It delivered the opposite.
We're more connected than ever, on paper, and lonelier than ever. The feeds were built to keep us scrolling, not to get us out the door. Somewhere along the way, likes quietly replaced hangouts.
60 → 20 min
Time spent in person with friends each day, down by two thirds since 2003.
U.S. Surgeon General, 2023
15 cigarettes
The health toll of chronic loneliness is comparable to smoking 15 a day.
U.S. Surgeon General, 2023
1 in 4
Nearly a quarter of people worldwide feel lonely, young adults most of all.
Gallup, 2023
THE ANTIDOTE
And then there's Berlin.
We happen to live in one of the most alive cities on earth. On any given night there's live music, theatre, workshops, flea markets, exhibitions, talks and screenings. Hundreds of things are happening that you'll mostly never hear about. The antidote to screens isn't far away, it's around the corner.
58,000 events a year in Berlin, from music to markets to theatre.

WHAT WE DO
We make going out the easy option.
Traube puts what's happening in Berlin in one place and makes it effortless to grab your friends and go. No algorithm deciding what you see, no ads, just a simple way to turn good intentions into real plans.
Find what's on
Every kind of event in Berlin in one feed, not buried across ten group chats.
See where friends go
Know what the people you like are up to, and join them in a tap.
Go together
Turn a maybe into a plan, and actually show up in the same room.
THE POINT
Connected, for real.
When showing up is easy, you show up more. You start seeing the same faces. You meet like-minded people in the rooms where things actually happen. That's the whole idea: not more time online, but more real connection, in the right places, with the right people.
