Spoon University runs a crowd-sourced content network of student contributors that creates food tips, reviews, and lifestyle pieces aimed at millennials. The site began as a Northwestern magazine in fall 2012, launched a website in 2013, and is New York–based. Content is produced by an onboarding-trained network of roughly 3,000 college students across more than 100 university chapters in the U.S., Canada, and India. The company reports about 1.5 million monthly unique visitors. Spoon University monetizes by packaging content for brands and running on-campus experiential marketing for college users. The company plans to expand its contributor network and produce more video content using the new financing.
