111 Jarvis St, Toronto, M5C 2H4

Overview

Uniiverse positions itself as a "platform for collaborative living" that focuses on facilitating offline meetups and real‑world exchanges rather than being a social network. Users can post listings for activities, services, belongings, space, or skills, set a price (including free), and allow others to instantly discover, book, and pay for those listings. The product surface includes a social/trust layer that surfaces social proximity, mutual friends, past interactions, ratings, and reviews to help users assess one another. Uniiverse aims to unify fragments of the sharing economy (e.g., Airbnb, Skillshare, Zimride) and transport trust across verticals and categories. Its marketplace charges a variable transaction fee to buyers (partly to cover credit card processing and partly to support the company), while allowing free listings and encouraging free offerings. To support product development, design, and marketing as it scales, the company announced seed funding of $750K.
