About Swivel

Swivel is a campus-based marketplace designed to connect students and facilitate sustainable commerce within university communities.

Our Story

Swivel was born from a simple observation: college students often need affordable essentials and have items they no longer use. We created a platform that brings campus communities together through a local, secure marketplace.

Founded by a team of students who understand the financial challenges of college life, Swivel aims to make student life more affordable while promoting sustainability through reuse and recycling.

Since our launch, we've helped thousands of students find what they need and connect with peers on campuses across the country.

Our platform is built on trust, transparency, and the power of local connections.
