What began with one University of Miami student\u2019s struggle to keep up with campus activities has grown into VibeLink, a mobile platform built to connect more than 500 student users with clubs, events and student organizations.<\/p>\n

VibeLink, created by UM senior Markus Corredor and UM alum Anish Guntreddi, allows students to discover campus organizations and events while providing student leaders with tools and resources to manage their clubs.<\/p>\n

Since launching last semester, the platform has grown to include around 70 UM student organizations and lists more than 100 events.<\/p>\n

The idea for the app stemmed from Corredor\u2019s own experience as a leader in the Scholars of Finance club.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy is there not just one unified app for campus life that makes it easy for students to see what\u2019s going on right from their phone, while simultaneously providing all the tools that club leaders need to manage their organization?\u201d asked Corredor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

VibeLink includes tools for discovering organizations and events, as well as features designed specifically for club leaders like QR-code attendance tracking, a photo gallery section and an event calendar.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe built it really just for them,\u201d Corredor said in reference to UM student organization leaders. \u201cAll the features that you\u2019ll see in the app are from feedback points that UM club leaders have given us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Corredor and Guntreddi spent about eight months talking with organization leaders, collecting feedback and continuously building the platform before putting it on the market last January.<\/p>\n

Guntreddi, who graduated from UM last semester, served as VibeLink\u2019s chief technology officer and helped build the app\u2019s technical foundation, while Corredor focused on the business side of the app.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding VibeLink has been an amazing experience because it allowed me to combine my passion for technology, product development, and creating systems that genuinely improve student life,\u201d Guntreddi wrote in a LinkedIn post<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That focus on improving student life has shaped how the team has approached VibeLink\u2019s early growth. Much of its outreach has involved connecting directly with campus organizations and their leadership teams.<\/p>\n

The platform includes a range of organizations from academic and professional groups to social and athletic clubs, such as UM Rugby, UShred and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really want them to know that what they\u2019re doing is very valuable,\u201d he said. \u201cThe future of higher education and student success is going to be tailored more towards what you are doing outside the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n

VibeLink also received support from The Launch Pad, UM\u2019s entrepreneurship resource center. Corredor participated in its nine-week Future Founders Accelerator Program, which provided entrepreneurial guidance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The startup later received additional support through the Cane Angel Network after winning a pitch competition. They received a $1,000 stipend that is now being used for the app\u2019s marketing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although the app is currently focused on UM\u2019s campus, Corredor said the company\u2019s long-term goal is to expand to other colleges once it has established product-market fit at the University.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you hop on VibeLink, the end result, by the time you hop off it, is that you find what events you care about,\u201d Corredor said. \u201cAnd then once you hop back on the app, it\u2019s because you went to those events, you had a good time, and you\u2019re here to find more events and clubs that you care about.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Corredor also holds a personal connection to the app\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe one thing that really kept me from transferring out \u2026 was this one organization called Scholars of Finance,\u201d Corredor said. \u201cNot only did joining this club allow me to connect with people that were like-minded, and I enjoyed being around, but it also reemphasized my want to be at UM.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, Corredor hopes that VibeLink can help students find the same sense of belonging.<\/p>\n
