What is Fizz
Fizz is America’s biggest college social app, allowing Gen Z to connect around their shared experiences and identities. College Fizz communities feature a private, moderated feed of posts from verified students, making it the most entertaining and authentic way to experience student life. Our newest product, Global Fizz, brings together all of Gen Z nationwide, providing a space to satisfy the 99% of life not on entertainment platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Fizz is on a mission to bring social back to social media.
What we’ve done
We first launched Fizz at Stanford in July 2021 and have since seen >95% of undergraduates join the app, half of which use Fizz every day. Since raising a $25M Series B in July 2023, we have established ourselves as the dominant community platform at 700+ colleges, have begun to generate revenue through advertising, and are actively expanding to communities beyond college.
Where we’re going
We have three primary goals for 2025-2026: continue our expansion to the entire US college market, drive revenue growth through our revolutionary ads business, and rapidly iterate on our product to become the dominant social platform for all of Gen Z, not just US college students.

This is a temporary onsite role based out of our New York, NY (Soho) office. (3 month assignment to start with potential for extension or conversion to full-time.) Compensation for this role is targeted between $7,500 to $11,500 per month based on job related skills and experience.
What We Do
Fizz is a private and authenticated platform designed to revolutionize the social fabric of communities, starting with colleges. After verifying a university email address, students use Fizz to post questions, memes, polls, and chat directly with other verified students, all while maintaining full control of their identity and privacy. Fizz communities are safe, authentic, and inclusive, made possible through community-based moderation.
Launched by two Stanford dropouts, Fizz is currently expanding into colleges all across the US. In a time when social media is plagued by curated highlight reals and lack of authenticity, Fizz is on a mission to redefine the definition of a true social network.
