Social Media Platform Fizz Receives Investment

Fizz, the social media platform exclusively for university students founded by Generation Z, announced that it has received an investment of $ 25 million with the participation of NEA led by Owl Ventures. Fizz surpassed what Crunchbase considers to be the lowest funding quartile for Series B rounds in 3 years. And it did so on the heels of raising a $2022 million Series A in November 12.

Fizz aims to free Gen Z social media users from the constant judgement, comparison and unattainable expectations that legacy social platforms have become known for. So what is the company's goal? It aims to encourage users to be their true selves and create a safer, private and more engaging digital space to share content about what it's actually like to be a college student!
