Now onboarding DFW — concerts, sports & lounges

Step In.Link Up.

The people beside you love the same night you do. From the front row to the back of the lounge, GateMate helps you actually meet them — check in, see who's here, and say hi.

See it in motion

This is GateMate, for real.

A first look at the actual app — the gate opens, the room lights up, and the people around you are one tap away.

How it works

Three taps from stranger to scene.

01

Step In

Arrive at a venue and check in to the live GateLink. You're instantly part of tonight's room — no adding friends, no searching.

02

Connect

See everyone who's here right now. Browse quick profiles, spot your kind of people, and send a connect with a single tap.

03

Say Hi

Break the ice before the lights go down. Keep the conversation going long after the encore — your night, now a network.

For venues

Turn foot traffic into regulars.

Give your guests a reason to remember each other — and a reason to come back. Founding Venue slots are open in DFW right now.

Why we're building this

We're all in the same room.
We just stopped seeing each other.

Concerts, red-eyes, lounges — full of people going somewhere interesting, and completely invisible to each other. GateMate is built to fix that.
