Built by Students, For Students
What started as a hackathon project became our mission to solve the paradox of feeling alone in a crowd of 20,000+ students.
The Hackathon Pivot
After our hackathon, we broke down our original idea and faced the real issue: discovery is broken on campus. How do you find your people in a sea of students? The underground music scene? That perfect study group? We realized every feature needed to solve this core problem - making it easier to discover and connect.
The Deeper Insight
Through deeper thought, we understood it wasn't just about consolidating apps. Every feature of Twine emerged from solving isolation: REMI for academic support, Circles for intimate study spaces in massive lecture halls, Events to surface hidden campus gems. We're solving the paradox of feeling alone in a crowd.
“We built Twine because we needed it ourselves. Students fixing what's broken about our own experience.”

Recognized at the New Venture Challenge with the Audience Choice Award, validating that this problem resonates with students everywhere.
Our Promise
Twine proves that features important to students don't have to be overlooked. We're building the tool we wish we had - one that makes college the best time of your life, not just something you survive.
