About

Fizz is a social media platform exclusively for college students that aims to be a safer, private and more engaging space to share authentic content. COO Teddy Solomon and CTO Ashton Cofer, Stanford dropouts who launched the company as students in 2021, say the private nature of the Fizz community (limited only to your school, accessible only with proof that you go there) helps relieve the social anxiety that can stem from filtered, curated or inauthentic content presenting a "false reality" on other platforms. Students can use Fizz to stay up to speed on news, events, parties and other happenings across campus; exchange intel and recs on what classes to take; connect with peers and more -- with the goal of fostering relationships off the app, IRL.
