Linked Up wants to bring college crushes together. Founded by a team of Northwestern University students, the dating app-like platform wants to help students who might be too shy to ask someone out in class. The approach involves users inputting their class schedule to facilitate connections with potential matches to alleviate some of the anxiety associated with social interactions. With a waitlist of over 350 people in the first week, the official website is expected to launch in the Fall, hoping to give students a new way to form connections within campuses off the usual apps.
