Utilizing Craigslist and no-code platforms, Tom and Chris were able to find product market fit in their early days while doing the jobs themselves. Since 2020, they have scaled the Undergrads platform to 14 markets across NC, SC, TX, FL, KY, and NV helping thousands of college students collectively earn millions of dollars around their class schedules.  Undergrads not only benefits the students who work flexibly around their class schedules, but also the businesses that now have access to premium front-of-house talent from an otherwise under-served talent pool. Businesses can utilize students as event server, bartenders, bussers, or general labor to help facilitate their large events—such as The Super Bowl or US F1 Grand Prix.  https://undergrads.com/ Connect With Us on LinkedIn
