Our take
Native is a platform that helps connect students with amazing experiences and have the best time at university. The idea came to life when native’s CEO, Nick Musto, realised that finding the best event or experience was near impossible amongst a sea of information at university.
Native has now evolved to empower Students’ Unions with technology and services designed to bring more content onto campuses, and allow students to seamlessly engage with it. The company has also brought hundreds of content-based shows to the university space, ranging from quiz nights to DJ sets to Q&A talks.
