BAY AREA STARTUP LAUNCHES THE NEXT FACEBOOK FOR UNIVERSITIES
LoopChat already has 250k users & is the #1 App for College Life
LoopChat, the world’s fastest-growing university student-focused social network has scaled new heights, exceeding a quarter of a million users, with more than 50,000 messages exchanged daily and showing no signs of slowing down. Hailed as the “#1 Plug for College Life,” the popular mobile app was created by college students, for college students, to help make campus life easier for all.
- (1888PressRelease) June 13, 2021 - LoopChat was launched in 2020 by Jason Li, who after accomplishing a successful startup exit whilst still in college himself, saw a jarring gap in the existing social media landscape as existing platforms did not address the unique needs of university students. From there, he built a talented team of students from colleges across the country, who shared a kindred vision of impact. Together, they set out to forge a path for a new generation of college admits to quickly find classmates, form study groups, learn about their classes, and discover shared passions in a modern, authentic way.
Jason says that “In college, it's easy to meet lots of people every day, but it's not as easy to make and keep long-lasting connections. LoopChat was created with this in mind: that the greatest value you'll take away from your college experience are the connections you make with others. It warms my heart to see hundreds of users on our app befriending their classmates, making plans to hang out, sharing class schedules.... the sense of community on LoopChat is incredible”.
By bridging a major gap in social media: providing a platform for enriching connections online, whilst championing an environment with a strong sense of authenticity and belonging, the company has quickly become a mainstay amongst incoming college freshmen across America who struggle to find their core friend group and social interaction during pandemic lockdown situations. LoopChat already supports hundreds of active local and national communities with on-campus student leaders who assist incoming students with every aspect of their new lives from finding roommates, to attending classes, and even dating advice.
A recent LoopChat user explains: “LoopChat is one of the most fun and interactive apps I’ve used. I feel comfortable sharing anything and everything about myself from identity crises to brushing my teeth. It really helps to talk to previous students who’ve taken my classes and I even found my roommate on LoopChat. It’s saved my life TBH”.
Similar to Facebook in its earliest days, LoopChat is currently only available to students with working university email addresses. These pre-authenticated user groups have proven to be a huge selling point for college students across the country. Users can join existing groups for their college, or create connections that span across universities in popular groups such as "Cuffed University", where LoopChatters discuss all things college, from relationships and Greek life, to classes and career goals. New college admits can even create their own chat and become an Admin on campus themselves!
LoopChat shrinks the learning curve for new college admits, but upperclassmen have also praised the platform as a hidden gem. From finding LSAT exam study groups to trading exclusive-access party invitations, LoopChat supports students at every level of the college experience.
LoopChat's highly-devoted user base hails it as a college-exclusive social media platform to share interests, discover campus trends, and meet other students in a safe and inclusive space where you can be curious, and most importantly feel yourself. Across the nation, university students are flocking to LoopChat's growing community of bad-ass creatives, thinkers, dreamers, and change-makers, who are excited to embark on the transformative, tumultuous journey of college while connected together.
Jason and the young startup recently received an incredible stamp of approval from uber-successful serial entrepreneur and investment executive David Jiang, who funded the company. Mr. Jiang brings solid business experience to the table, having led some of the largest investment firms in the country, and states: “I see a huge gap in how technology can be used to enrich people’s lives, by bringing people together, rather than driving them apart. When I think back to when I was a student at Harvard, I know I would have loved to discover the passions of my classmates. What most excites me about this opportunity, is that I believe this gap extends across society outside of college.”
