The social media landscape has changed dramatically over the past few years. No longer is Facebook just a place where you share things with friends. Now you're connected to your parents, your coworkers, random people from the gym and hundreds or thousands of people that really aren't part of your daily life. 

What if you're a college student that really just wants to meet other college students. Tinder is for dating. YikYak is for venting. Not to mention the other dozen social media apps that are mostly for connecting with people you already know.

Welcome to Friendsy, they're solving this problem for millions of college students across the country. Download the app in iTunes or Google Play, signup with your college email address and start meeting other students in your area. College is the best time of your life but only if you have friends to make those memories with. Friendsy is your app for making friends. 

In this episode we spoke with Vaidhy, the founder of Friendsy about all the ups and downs of the startup life. It's been a challenging road for his company but they're determined to make Friendsy a big success. After several years of trying different growth strategies he's confident the team has finally figured out the perfect customer acquisition strategy. Vaidhy also shares how he was able to get an investment from several NYC investors as well as being part of the Princeton venture accelerator program.
