About inCampus
Our Mission
Revolution, excitement, shift, something new; many words can be used to describe
a new internet site but we implore you to look past them. inCampus is a mission.
A mission started by young men and women with the passion to EVOLVE the way students,
connect, transact, and build themselves into the future business, educational, and
social leaders. We live in a transitional time where this generation is primed to
utilize all these skills they have learned thus far and use them to make a stand.
Campus | Commerce | Community™ - three words that sum up the core of inCampus.com.
This generation’s students stand at the forefront of technology and communication.
Now is the time for you to use this to better your lives and the lives of those
around you. To create meaningful connections , know your communities, start businesses
and entrepreneurial practices, find employment, or just find old friends or new
roommates. inCampus is committed to bringing you that system. Up until now social
networking sites like MySpace and Facebook have greatly improved the way your generation
communicates on the web and in your lives. The emergence of these sites has advanced
the way people connect on the internet by leaps and bounds, however, we pride ourselves
in becoming something more. By bringing together networking features, marketplace
functionality, and Gen Y catered services, inCampus is The World’s First Social
Commerce Network TM for college students.
inCampus empowers today’s generation by allowing you to connect, keep in touch,
browse marketplaces, get informed, and give back. Join us as we seek to evolve the
way the internet can affect the world globally as well as locally.
Social Service - A Core Value
You want to make a difference and so does inCampus. Social service is in our bloodstream
and a key part of our DNA. Upon the creation of inCampus, the founders dedicated
a portion of the their part of company’s equity to create the inCampus Foundation.
As the company grows, the foundation’s funds will grow exponentially, ultimately
creating a significant amount of resources that will be used to provide financing
programs for college students around the world. In addition to this, inCampus has
dedicated 5% of our profits to helping young entrepreneurs start their own businesses
and startups. These “seed money” fundings are dispersed quarterly and are distributed
based upon the merit of the submitted student business plans. Look for more details
on the student micro-finance plan in the coming months.

the ultimate social commerce network for college students.
But just don’t take our word for it. Check out some of our outstanding student team
members and what they have to say:
Ryan E. Benson - University of Washington “ I believe there is a
strong need for such a site. While there are sites that have commerce components,
they don’t focus on the student or the college/campus community. InCampus is bringing
the community back to the students. ”
Lisa Tran - University of Washington “ I know of no other site
or company that is catering to this niche market. I need to sell my book to other
students on campus and the book store is such a rip off, I feel inCampus is the
best solution
”
Alvin Lai - University of Washington “ All students need a
website for social networking as well as commerce. InCampus helps me connect to
my peers as well as future employers. ”
Kristie Koda - Pacific Lutheran University “ I like inCampus because
I feel it’s safer than the other sites. You really never know who is behind that
screen name or display name! ”
Ratchel Pinlac - University of Washington “ There’s a need for inCampus
because students need the ultimate all-in-one resource tool to buy books, post events,
find housing, network, and anything related to college. ”
Heather Tadman - University of Washington“ I think there is a need
for inCampus because it assists college students in every aspect of their life.
The network on inCampus allows you to buy and sell things, keep updated on the latest
happenings around campus, research jobs and internships, find deals on vacations,
and so much more. As a college student inCampus is all you need!
”
Erika Cabatingan - Pacific University “ inCampus is extremely easy and convenient to use.
I love how it has the capabilities to create an online market within individual
school systems but at the same time you can shop in other school networks as well.
It’s a very easy way for students to sell their unwanted goods.
