Built by students, for students

UniConnect was born out of a simple frustration: why is it so hard to buy a used textbook from someone in your own dorm, or find a classmate heading to the airport before a holiday break?

General marketplaces can connect you with strangers, while commercial transportation is not designed around classmates already making the same trip. There's no single trusted place built just for university students.

UniConnect changes that. We're building a campus-first platform limited to approved university email accounts, bringing buying, selling, and shared trips into one community.

Our mission

To make student life easier and more connected — one campus at a time.

Our values

Trust, safety, and community. University-email access helps keep the platform campus-focused.

Where we're headed

Planning to partner with Houghton University, Alfred University, and Alfred State to bring UniConnect to the Southern Tier.

Sell what you have. Find what you need.

From textbooks to mini-fridges, your campus marketplace means you can sell in minutes and buy for less — from someone right on your campus.

UniConnect isn't just for students. Faculty and staff members play an important role in campus life — and their commutes often overlap with students going the same way.

With a separate staff email account tier, professors and staff can post recurring commute routes. Students choose an eligible service date, and both parties can rate the experience after a completed ride.

It's a practical alternative to driving alone — and a simple way for faculty to share planned trips with the students they see every day.
