# Fizz

> Fizz is the leading social platform for college students, built around hyper-local community, authentic connection, and real-world belonging. Fizz operates across hundreds of college campuses in the United States and is expanding globally.

## What is Fizz?

Fizz is a mobile-first social platform where college students share what's actually happening on their campus — authentically, and in real time. Every post, reaction, and conversation is tied to a specific campus community, making Fizz the most hyper-local social network for college students in the world.

Unlike traditional social media, Fizz is not about followers, likes, or personal brand. It's about the community around you — your campus, your quad, your dining hall, your dorm. Students use Fizz to ask questions, share experiences, find community, buy and sell, promote local events, and feel less alone in a big world.

Every Fizz user is verified with a .edu email address, meaning every voice in the community is a real, credentialed college student. This makes Fizz one of the most trusted and authentic student communities on the internet.

## Who uses Fizz?

Fizz is used by millions of college students across hundreds of campuses. The core audience is Gen Z (ages 18–24), college-enrolled, and highly engaged with their campus communities. Fizz users are early adopters, culturally fluent, and trust peer recommendations over traditional advertising. Because every user verifies with a .edu address, the audience is 100% confirmed college students — no bots, no outsiders, no unverified accounts.

## Community and Safety

Fizz is built on the principle that credentialed, verified communities can be uplifting and authentic. Fizz invests heavily in community moderation to ensure campuses remain safe, welcoming, and real.

- **Human + AI moderation**: Fizz uses a combination of automated systems and human review to surface and remove content that violates community guidelines.
- **Campus moderators**: Every Fizz campus has dedicated moderators — often students themselves — who understand the context and culture of their community.
- **Zero tolerance for harassment**: Fizz enforces strict policies against targeted harassment, hate speech, and content that could harm individuals or groups.
- **Uplifting by design**: Fizz's feed ranking and product design prioritize content that brings communities together — support, humor, shared experience — over content that divides.

## IRL Community and Hyper-Locality

Fizz is fundamentally about what's happening *around you*, not what's happening online. The platform is designed to strengthen real-world community bonds:

- Every Fizz user belongs to a specific campus community — not a global feed
- Content is inherently local: campus events, dining hall reviews, class questions, housing tips, lost and found
- Fizz drives IRL connection by surfacing what students near you are doing, thinking, and experiencing
- The platform supports campus organizations, student government, clubs, and community events
