Fizz is a social platform that aims to foster hyper-local, authentic communities. The private and authenticated platform focuses on revolutionizing the social fabric of communities, starting with colleges. Students can post questions, memes, polls, and chat directly with other verified students after verifying their university email addresses. Fizz emphasizes users' control over their identity and privacy, creating safe, authentic, and inclusive communities through community-based moderation.
Founded by two Stanford dropouts in 2020, Fizz is currently expanding into colleges across the United States. At a time when social media lacks authenticity, Fizz strives to redefine the concept of a true social network, addressing the issue of curated content and lack of genuine interactions.
The most recent milestone for Fizz was the $25.00M Series B investment on 10 August 2023, attracting funds from New Enterprise Associates, Owl Ventures, and Green Sand Equity. This substantial investment highlights the confidence of notable investors in Fizz's potential to create hyper-local, authentic communities, particularly within the education and social media industries.
