Unii:The UK's student-oriented social platform Unii is a student-based social dating platform in the UK, focusing only on the fact that students must use the University's email inbox to join, unlike Facebook, Unii plans to build its business by serving only students.

The content that students share on Unii will not Unii.com has now expanded to 185 of the approximately 300 UK universities and the site has attracted a large number of users between the ages of 18 and 24, and has announced that it has surpassed 100,000 users.

Students can join and use Unii for free, and the site does not cash in through advertising. Living, buying and selling books, and finding jobs. Some of these businesses are already online (though they haven't generated any revenue yet; it's time to build up users first), and many more are planned: 10 services will be online in the next three to 12 months.

Each of these sub-businesses will have a different profit model. For example, employers will need to pay for postings on the Unii network, and can post job ads broken down by university or academic subject. Another sub-business provides university associations with tools to manage their membership. These sub-businesses are more like freemium models. Segmented user content is another focus of Unii, with a dynamic structure for the user home page view, a more flexible technical structure than Facebook.

Unii also allows users to post updates to groups of friends, and also supports posting messages to the university community (e.g. looking for a roommate), or to the entire UK university community. The types of content that can be posted are photos, videos, links, etc.

Unii also has a survey tool that displays responses in the form of an infographic. To date, Unii has raised £1.8 million in seed funding and Series A funding, and will complete a "much larger" Series B round this quarter. Unii also plans to expand internationally, interested in the U.S., China and Europe, but has not yet decided which market to go to.
