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.
