Connyct social media app for college students opens early access

What if social media could step beyond mere media consumption and instead create communities and bring people together? Linking online content with communities and real-world experiences, the new social app Connyct ‘connects’ real people with real passions, all powered by a proprietary platform integrating an extensive library of licensed music clips through a landmark partnership with Warner Music Group (WMG).

Unlike traditional social networks, Connyct (pronounced kuh-nekt) meets the market demand for closer connections and streamlined community coordination. Launching exclusively to college students (.edu required), the app provides a digital space exclusive to students, where they can create and consume content, interact freely, plan adventures and parties together, discover and pursue their passions, and seamlessly blend online connection with real-world activities.

Front and center of Connyct’s mobile short form platform technology is the innovative Events Center, powered by video, with an extensive library of licensed music clips. Hosting or going to a party? Make a video featuring your favorite song as you get ready and share it with your crew to get everyone hyped up for the night.

"We created Connyct to spark joy and excitement around real-life experiences, a digital reflection of your favorite times. We’re all about connection and discovery, meant to help users find people who share the same passions and want to publicize events to enjoy them with their friends. Our partnership with WMG takes this vision to the next level, allowing students to soundtrack their college experiences with an incredible array of music," says CEO & Co-Founder Matthew Berman.
