Prediction markets for campus life
The Polymarket for people who skip class — stay locked in.
Stake on whether you (or your crew) actually show up. Odds move with reputation, streaks, and real outcomes — not vibes.
Why ShowUp exists
Turn “I’ll go tomorrow” into a market with a price on it.
Most attendance apps nag you. ShowUp lets you and your friends bet on real behavior — so skipping has a cost, and showing up pays off. It’s Polymarket energy for the lecture hall: odds shift as your track record updates, not as you update your story.
Skin in the game
You commit stakes for the term — play-money credits or small real amounts you choose. When you ghost class, the market takes its cut; when you lock in, you prove the doubters wrong.
Social accountability
Run markets solo or with your crew. Friends can trade on whether you’ll show — which sounds brutal until it’s the reason you actually go. Reputation becomes visible, not just a group chat promise.
What you’re building toward
Everything on one campus-sized product surface.
Semester-long lines
Set recurring class windows and stakes once; we track outcomes across the term so one-off excuses don’t reset the board.
Location-backed check-ins
Tie attendance to places and times you define — so resolutions reflect whether you were really there, not whether you said you were.
Markets, not guilt trips
Buy and sell side bets with friends on attendance outcomes — prices move as people’s streaks and slip-ups become public knowledge.
Trust & fairness
Markets only work if everyone knows how they end.
ShowUp is designed so outcomes are explainable: your bets resolve from check-ins and rules you can read in plain English — not a black box score or a roommate’s opinion.
Clear resolution rules
Every market spells out what counts as “showed up,” when it settles, and what data we use — before anyone puts stakes down.
Built for real campuses
Schedules, buildings, and weird section times are first-class — not an afterthought on top of a generic habit app.
You stay in control
You choose what to stake, which classes to track, and who can see your markets. We’re building for opt-in accountability.
How it works
Three steps from idea to settled market.
- 01
Set your line
Bet on yourself by putting money into the app. Set your stake for the semester - the more you commit, the more you have to lose (or prove).
- 02
Go to class
Add your class locations and schedules. The app tracks your location during class time - show up and you're safe, skip class and lose your stake.
- 03
Settle the market
Location data automatically resolves your bets. Attendance is verified, money is deducted for absences, and your reputation is updated.
