Stop Compromising. Start Meeting Smarter.

For decades, planning a meetup in Paris has involved the same tired routine: a flurry of texts, a debate over which neighborhood is "in the middle," and someone inevitably drawing the short straw with a long, annoying journey. We've all just accepted this as a fact of life in a big city.

At midway@, we believe there's a better way. We're using smart technology to solve this age-old problem, making hangouts fairer, faster, and way more fun.

The Old Way is Broken

Human brains are amazing, but we're not great at calculating multi-variable transit problems in our heads. We rely on guesswork and heuristics, like picking a big station like Châtelet and hoping for the best. This leads to unfair travel times and a subtle, low-level resentment that can kill the vibe before the hangout even starts.

The midway@ Difference: Data, Not Drama

Our app replaces guesswork with data. We analyze the entire Paris transport network—Métro, RER, bus, and even walking speeds—to find the mathematically optimal meeting point.

• It's Fair: Our algorithm finds the spot that minimizes and equalizes travel time for everyone in your group.
• It's Fast: What used to take a 10-message chain now takes 10 seconds. Enter your locations, pick a vibe, and you're done.
• It's Smart: We can suggest specific venues, like cafés, parks, or bars, in the ideal area, so you have a concrete plan, not just a neighborhood.

More Than an App, It's a Philosophy

We believe that friendships are precious, and the time you spend with your friends should be fun and effortless. By removing the logistical friction of planning, we're helping people connect more easily and more often. It's about respecting everyone's time and making sure that the act of getting together is as enjoyable as the hangout itself.
