Unii is a UK student-only social network that requires a university-accredited email and offers student-focused social features including photos, videos, links and polling with segmented posting (friend group, university-wide, or all UK students). Launched in May, it is live in over 185 of roughly 300 U.K. universities and surpassed 100,000 users in six months, targeting a UK student market of about 2.5 million. The platform will not be monetized by ads; instead Unii plans to launch multiple sub-businesses (e.g., Unii Living, Unii Jobs, marketplace and society tools) with different revenue models. Some sub-businesses are already live, with 10 more planned over the next three to 12 months. The company is focusing on user growth and is not yet generating revenue. Web is live now and Android and iOS apps were scheduled to launch in around two weeks.
