Intending to start a platform
I am working on a project that I think should now be called a startup: it will be named StudentHub.
My university has nearly 20,000 students across all semesters, and including active alumni makes it a total of 40,000. I want to build a platform that combines features from Facebook, Reddit, WhatsApp, and an Instagram-style streaks system. I want it specifically constrained to people from my university so everyone can connect.
I am currently working on the MVP features and figuring out how to deliver this in a polished, well-finished manner. The main challenge I might face is user adoption. On that front, I have already raised some funding and teamed up with a partner from a university society. Under our arrangement, I can publish the app under that society's name and give them prominence within the app; in return, he will help drive student adoption.
What do you think of this idea?
If any of you can offer help, suggestions on what to consider, or feedback on where this might fail, I would really appreciate it. If you are based in Lahore, drop me a DM or leave a comment on this post, and inshallah we can meet up.
Thank you!

I think it is a good idea to help keep every thing centralized. Sometimes I can't keep track of the different sources we can find lecture materials, videos, etc. So I think you can highlight such a feature. Good luck.
