KAYR
Crunchbase | Website | Twitter | Facebook | Linkedin
KAYR is a community-building platform that aims to create stronger, more active & supportive communities. Although it has applications in a number of verticals, our ideal customers are student unions (with whom we are currently building KAYR out for pilots at three Canadian universities), and our present focus is on addressing the significant problem of student (dis-)engagement with our technology.
And in terms of the tech itself, we use a unique combination of concepts, but most notably a block-chain inspired system to gamify student interactions & reward students for getting involved at their schools… For instance, with KAYR, there is an online hub for students to get involved in co-curricular university life, such as to find student union events, join societies, connect with peers if needing/ wanting to give help, complete wellness challenges & more.
And as students engage, there’s rewards from their student unions to recognize/ reward their involvement!. .
