What Swiv is
SWIV is a social nightlife platform built to make going out easier, smarter, and safer.
From discovering bars, clubs, and events to finding friends, checking wait times, purchasing tickets, and planning your night, SWIV brings everything you need into one place. With safety at the core of our platform, we’re redefining how people experience nightlife by making every night more connected, convenient, and secure.
Nobody picks.
You walk across town.
The place is dead.
Everyone’s somewhere else.

Built-in safety
Looking out for
each other.
Before your phone dies
When a friend's battery drops under 10%, Swiv tells you — while there's still time to find them, not after they've gone dark.
The right number, where you are
911, campus security, your local police, the 988 crisis line. The list follows wherever you are — on campus it's that campus's number. Shown here in Syracuse.
A record of every alert
When it happened, where, and who was told. Yours to look back on — or to hand to someone who needs to know what went on.
