Fizz, a social media platform exclusively available for college campuses to create hyper-local digital communities where students can authentically communicate about campus life, is announcing funding and expansion.

Backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Octane Venture Partners and additional Silicon Valley angel investors, Fizz has received $4.5 million in Seed funding.

Launched at Stanford in 2021 and now used by 95% of undergrads on the campus, the private, peer-moderated app has expanded to a dozen campuses including Stanford, Rice, Wake Forest, Tulane, Chapman and Elon, among others.
