Technology

LocalStudent is a new technology startup that was created by students, for students.

We are changing the way that students work in the 21st century.

Our app allows customers to hire students for on-demand services, with the click of a button. We're like Uber for student services. Our startup is quickly growing and people are starting to take notice, as we have been featured on CTV, Toronto Star, blogTO, Narcity and Breakfast Television. Over 25,000+ students have signed up on our platform. We focus on home services right now, but our vision is to become the platform for any service a student can offer, from dog walking to web development and more.
