Take Facebook , add in a bit ‘of LinkedIn and season with Tinder , the famous dating app that allows people to choose through photography profile. If you mix together the three pillars of social communication, the result is Stellup . The software , created in part by two young brothers from Apulia flown in technological California to study and work, is an absolute novelty in the innovative of the moment.
The password is networking . It is, in fact, a deck that allows you to meet new people who studied in the same university or worked in the same companies, thus creating a community , just like the service weblog network Mark Zuckerberg. The goal, however, is not only make friends but also expand its professional network , like LinkedIn, with the added bonus of being able to create solutions that connect people in a way at the same time and fun, selecting them on the basis of a common culture , mission and sense of .
In short, Stellup helps to maintain relationships with former fellow students, to create new ones with representatives of universities that have broken into the world of work and, why not, to get noticed by some recruiter that is part of the same digital community . Among the universities already involved in the project include the universities of the caliber of the Pompeu Fabra Barcelona and the famous LSE . Interest also comes from ‘ Italy : not only the app is attracting a lot of investment from the beautiful country, but the St. Stephen’s, American high school in Rome, wanted to consider Stellup to make networking and fundraising among its graduates.
On the other hand, the heart and mind of startups come directly from the Apulia . Vincenzo and Giuseppe Belpiede, brothers under 35 who have studied around the world, have implemented the project along with two other fellow Serbs, throwing a challenge to social networks best known but just respond to the requirements of community university network, because hardly one would search classmates passed by name, one by one.
“We are a long experience despite his young age – says Joseph -. Together we attended something like ten different universities around the world, from Milan Mexico City , via London and San Francisco. So we decided to create a apps to keep in touch with people we had met over the years, creating a real network that would allow us also to share experiences work and college memories. “
Another feature of Stellup is that it is the first platform that bases its business in market of donations to universities . “In the US universities – continues Giuseppe – received only in 2014 well $ 37 billion in donations and for every dollar donated lost 30 cents for the transfer costs and other red tape. Our app, however, may be able to directly manage donations quickly and safely. “
The challenge of the two Italian brothers from the then market the stars and stripes to win worldwide, in particular the ‘ Europe . “That’s where we come from and that’s where we want to grow our business – said the creator of Stellup -. By the end of November will launch our app in the major digital stores for smartphone . After you get over 130 thousand dollars from private investors and have been the only startup of Italian origin to be incorporated into the program Startup Chile we are looking for new donors to help us realize our dream. “
