Thanks @DavidSpinks for hunting us! We are super happy to be on PH today! Hi guys! We're the co-founders of Uniyo, hoping to catch some quality feedback on what we're doing. We just came out of the Refiners Fleet 2, an accelerator program based in San Francisco. We're on a mission to reinvent college campuses by creating meaningful student communities. A couple of years ago, we launched Uniyu which was a note-sharing app for students. It did well in terms of sign up in universities in the Montreal region but it wasn't that great in terms of retention. Students are downloading notes only before the midterms and finals exams... So, we spent more than a year reinventing what could be the best app to allow students to share all kinds of information: ask questions, get answer, find campus tips, and more. Uniyo is the front page of your campus. It's a powerful messaging app to reach the entire campus and to know instantly what's going on. You can share anything that matters with the rest of your campus. We launched a first pilot in HEC Montreal during the last 3 weeks of the semester. 20% of the campus signed up and that was a solid proof of our concept. We also received tons of feedback to build Uniyo. What's the difference with Slack? Slack is for smaller teams (20 coworkers, maybe 200 max) but you can't chat with 25k students in your school. Uniyo is built for large numbers through a smart newsfeed system and strong gamification. What's the difference with WhatsApp or GroupMe? Just like Slack, try to direct chat with your entire campus and you'll feel the pain. What's the difference with Facebook groups? You never know which Facebook groups to join on campus and if you join all of them, it'll simply ruin your newsfeed. Uniyo works more like a Twitter feed where you organize your information following hashtags that are relevant to you. We are still a boostrapped team and we still have a lot to learn from your feedback. We're looking forward to hearing from you all! Ask us anything! 🍩 Team Uniyo 🍩
