Stickee is designed to provide students with a university-based community where they share, connect, and navigate university life together. Our mission is to help students adapt to university life more quickly and make the most of their experience wherever they study. Users can share everyday moments through posts, exchange experiences and ideas, ask questions, and seek help from fellow students. The community is primarily organized around universities, filling the gap between small friendship circles and large, open social platforms. By encouraging students and alumni from the same university to share experiences and exchange useful information, Stickee aims to reduce information gaps and make valuable knowledge more accessible within each university community. What We Aim to Address Stickee focuses on two key needs: helping students feel less isolated while living away from home, and making it easier to discover and share practical knowledge about university life. Whether users have questions about their studies or everyday life, they can create posts to ask the community for advice and support. They can also share recommendations for great places to eat, things to do, and practical tips that may help students who are new to the area. The app is organized around university communities and focuses on building connections beyond users’ immediate friendship circles. It gives students more opportunities to discover and connect with people within their wider university community.

SPARK is a private membership in London, for people who live actively and want the company around them to match. Membership is by introduction, and the circle stays small by design. What holds it together is not a look or a line of work, but a shared way of moving through life: present, unhurried, and good for one's word. There are four houses. SPARK Dating For meeting someone who shows up. A run along the river before the city wakes. Tennis after work, when the courts turn gold. Padel on a Saturday and the long, easy lunch that follows. We introduce you with care, to people whose lives already move the way yours does, so the first meeting feels less like a match and more like a morning you would have chosen anyway. SPARK Events Gatherings we keep small on purpose, so the room always feels warm. Morning runs and evening courts, boxing, yoga, movement and the slow drink afterwards. You will remember them by the people you met, and by how easy it all felt. SPARK Social The smaller table. Dinners and quiet evenings for members who love good company and unhurried conversation, in rooms chosen as carefully as the guest list. SPARK Access A growing collection of places and partners we love, across training, wellness and the good life in London. Spaces held a little more open, because you are a member. SPARK is not made for endless browsing. It is made for people who would rather meet well than often. Inside, you can build a profile, receive trusted introductions, send Sparks, message the people you match with, discover Events, and reach for safety tools whenever you need them. Your safety sits at the heart of the membership. You can report, block or unmatch at any time, and you can delete your account whenever you wish, from Settings. SPARK is free to join, by invitation. There are no purchases or subscriptions in the iOS experience. For adults 18 and over. London. By invitation.
