Students often miss out on valuable campus opportunities because information is scattered across emails, WhatsApp groups, notice boards, and social media. Pixel solves this by acting as a single source of truth for campus life, delivering personalized and relevant updates directly to students.
Pixel is built with a startup-first mindset: scalable, modular, and ready to evolve into a full campus ecosystem platform.
Students commonly face:
- Missed events and deadlines due to fragmented communication
- Difficulty finding the right teammates for hackathons and projects
- Information overload with low relevance
- Lack of a structured campus-wide discovery platform
Pixel provides:
- A centralized feed of campus events and opportunities
- Personalized recommendations based on interests and skills
- A collaboration and teammate-matching system
- Event tracking, reminders, and deadline management
All within a clean, campus-centric interface.
