Meet people in person when you're away for work.

RAVL 2.0 is now in private beta. Places are limited while we shape the next version together.

Join the RAVL 2.0 Beta See how it works

What is RAVL?

RAVL is a social network designed specifically for business travellers.

It's for the moments between meetings.
For the evenings when you don't want to eat alone again.
For the trips where you wish you knew someone in the city you've just landed in.

RAVL makes it easy to discover people nearby, join small events, or suggest something simple like a coffee, a walk, a meal, and meet in person.

No performance.
No forced networking.
Just human connection, made easier.

What's new in RAVL 2.0

RAVL 2.0 has been rebuilt from the ground up.

  • A faster, cleaner app experience
  • Improved profiles and discovery
  • New group and event functionality
  • Better foundations for safety and trust
  • A platform designed to grow with the community, not overwhelm it

The beta gives you early access — and the chance to shape what comes next.

Who RAVL is for

RAVL is a good fit if you:

  • travel for work, even occasionally
  • arrive in cities where you don't know many people
  • enjoy small, relaxed meetups over large, noisy events
  • value genuine conversation over transactional networking

RAVL is not a good fit if you:

  • want to pitch people immediately
  • are looking for anonymous or dating-style interactions
  • prefer large, performative networking events

We're intentional about the kind of community we're building.

How it works

  1. Create a profile
    Share who you are, what you do, and what kind of meetups you enjoy.
  2. See who's around
    Browse other business travellers who are in the same city as you.
  3. Join or suggest something simple
    Coffee. A walk. Dinner. A museum. A quiet drink. No pressure.
  4. Connect and message
    Follow people you'd like to meet and start a conversation.
  5. Meet in real life
    Public places. Small groups. Human-first experiences.

What beta members get

As a RAVL 2.0 beta member, you'll get:

  • Early access to new features before public launch
  • A direct line to the team building the product
  • The chance to influence how RAVL evolves
  • Priority access to early curated events

This beta is about learning, not perfection.

Safety and trust

Safety is a core priority for RAVL.

  • Every new member is reviewed by a real human to confirm they are who they say they are
  • Event locations and attendee lists are only visible to people with a ticket
  • First meetups are encouraged in public places
  • You can block or report other members at any time
  • Clear community standards guide behaviour on and off the app

RAVL is designed to feel calm, respectful, and human, not chaotic or anonymous.

What we ask from beta testers

We're inviting people who want to help shape RAVL's future.

During the beta, we'll ask you to:

  • Tell us about a future trip (real or not)
  • Tell us what feels confusing, missing, or unnecessary
  • Report bugs or rough edges
  • Share ideas for meetups you'd actually attend

Honest feedback matters more than praise.
