University Beyond operates a platform that connects brands with college students interested in brand-ambassador programs. It uses a nationwide job board to recruit students and a back-end dashboard that lets brands assign and monitor tasks, run live chat and videoconference, and handle payments. Students access ambassador jobs, view assignments, get paid, and can download an auto-generated resume and a certificate of completion. The service is free for students and brands through 2014, after which brands will pay a flat monthly fee (amount undisclosed). The company was founded by Doug Messer and Brendan Weinstein out of their experience building a watch company and a campus events brand, and faces competition from services like CampusLive. Financially, University Beyond has raised $300,000 in seed funding led by Innovation Garden with participation from two unnamed angel investors.
