Welcome to the
Skill-Sharing Revolution

YuTU is the video-first app where students share skills, earn money, and make real-life connections that matter.

Why?

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.

That’s Why We Created YuTU

.YuTU was built from the ground up to help students 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 students 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 student life more
meaningful – and way more fun!

Our Mission

We’re on a mission to revolutionise student life through skill sharing and social connection.

Our goal?

 

To create a world where every student can:

  • Monetise what they know.
  • Learn something new.
  • Build genuine friendships.
  • Experience university with confidence, connection, and purpose.

 No more waiting to “find your people”. 

On YuTU, they’re one video away.
