Starting college can feel overwhelming — especially for freshers trying to find their tribe, keep up with academics, and stay updated on campus activities. LinkUp was born out of the idea of creating a personal social app tailored specifically for colleges, enabling students to:
- Collaborate on shared interests
- Exchange academic resources
- Stay informed and involved in campus life
- Connect with peers, seniors, and student bodies
I got the idea for LinkUp when I faced similar challenges myself — feeling lost, unsure of where to go for help, and wishing there was a single space where everything a student might need was just... there.
At that time, I genuinely hoped the college had a platform where we could easily find people to connect with, discover events, access resources, and feel like part of a community from the very beginning.
I wanted to create something more meaningful than just a website — a platform where students feel supported, welcomed, and empowered to build friendships and thrive socially and academically from day one.

We're planning to develop a micro-social platform within LinkUp where students can:
- Post short messages, ideas, or announcements
- Like, comment, and repost
- Follow other students for updates
- Build mini-communities within college
This will further promote interactions and collaborations, particularly benefiting freshers looking to settle in and make friends.
In the future, LinkUp will support students from any college — not just one.
The goal is to:
- Allow students from any college to register and use the platform
- Ensure that each college has its own isolated database, keeping their internal discussions, events, and resources private
- Enable college-specific social feeds and collaboration spaces
This will scale LinkUp into a personalized social experience for every campus, while maintaining the integrity and privacy of each institution.
- Push Notifications for updates & reminders
- QR Code Login using college ID
- AI Chatbot to handle common questions
- Event Calendar with RSVP feature
