Welcome to the
Skill-Sharing Revolution
YuTU is the video-first app where people share skills, earn money, and make real-life connections that matter.
YuTU for Students
University life should be the most connected time of your life – but for too many students, it’s not.
Despite being more “connected” than ever, students today are reporting record-high levels of loneliness and disconnection. Our research shows:
- Students don’t trust traditional social media to make real-life friends.
- They want authentic, face-to-face.
experiences – not filtered highlight reels. - They’re eager to connect through shared interests and skills – but don’t know where to start.
This isn’t just a social gap. It’s a human one. And it’s growing.
YuTU for Communities
.YuTU was built from the ground up to help people connect, collaborate, and create real-life relationships – all through the skills they already have.
Whether it’s tutoring, photography, hair braiding or meal prep, YuTU makes it easy for people to:
- Showcase what they’re great at in a fun, trustworthy, video – first way.
- Find others who need what they offer or offer what they need.
- Meet up in real life and build friendships through shared value.
We’re not another social media app.
We’re the anti-awkward, pro-authentic platform designed to make life more
meaningful – and way more fun!
Our Mission
We’re on a mission to revolutionise community and campus life through skill sharing and social connection.
Our goal?
To create a world where every everyone can:
