About PairUp

Finding the perfect housemate shouldn't be a matter of luck. We're on a mission to make housemate matching smarter, safer, and more successful across Nigeria.

Our Story

PairUp was born from a simple observation: finding a compatible housemate in Nigeria's bustling cities was unnecessarily difficult and often stressful. Whether you're a student starting university in Abuja, a young professional relocating to Lagos, or anyone looking for shared accommodation, the process was filled with uncertainty and risk.

We knew there had to be a better way. Instead of relying on random Facebook groups, word-of-mouth, or taking a chance on strangers with little information, we envisioned a platform that uses intelligent matching to connect people based on lifestyle compatibility, shared values, and genuine common ground.

Today, PairUp helps Nigerians across the country find housemates they can trust, creating living arrangements that feel like home from day one. We're proud to be building a community where safety, compatibility, and meaningful connections are the foundation of every match.

Our Mission

To revolutionize the housemate-finding experience in Nigeria by providing a safe, intelligent, and user-friendly platform that connects compatible individuals, making shared living arrangements harmonious and stress-free.

Our Vision

To become Nigeria's most trusted housemate-matching platform, where every user finds not just a place to live, but a home with people they genuinely connect with. We envision a future where shared living is a choice that enhances life, not a compromise.
