Tandem Uni App secures £70k for student social networking platform

Connecting university students through shared interests is the core mission of Tandem Uni App Ltd, which has recently secured an estimated £70k in new funding. This investment gives the London-based startup an estimated post-money valuation of £1.1m.

Founded in 2024, the company operates a social networking application called Tandem. The platform is designed to help students discover and join university societies and sports clubs, browse campus events, and RSVP to social gatherings. By centralizing these functions, the app aims to simplify the process of meeting like-minded individuals within the university ecosystem.

The startup was established to address the difficulties students often face when trying to navigate social opportunities on campus. The app provides a single location for students to manage their social calendars and connect with peers who have similar hobbies or academic interests.

Financial data for the period ending 31 August 2025 shows the company has one employee. LinkedIn records indicate a total of two employees. The business operates from its headquarters in London and focuses on the technology and student engagement sectors, with a specific emphasis on diversity.

This funding round follows the company's incorporation the previous year. The allotment of shares for this round took place in July 2025 (with formal documentation filed in May).

Tandem Uni App Ltd positions its product as a tool designed by students for students. The platform emphasizes convenience and accessibility to encourage higher levels of student participation in university life and social events.
