The peer-to-peer platform built for campus life.
Download on the App StoreStudents are constantly buying and selling, asking for help, splitting rides, and looking for someone who’s already taken the class. It just happens in group chats, on flyers, and through whoever happens to know whoever. Kangaroo gives all of it one place to happen — real profiles, prices agreed up front, and payments handled in the app.
Our goal is to make it easy to get what you need from the people already around you.
Buy and sell with students on your own campus. You get the convenience of dealing with someone who probably lives minutes away, and who shares your schedule and your necessities. Semester’s over and you’ll never use that calculator again? Sell it to someone who needs it next semester. Moving out? Sell the furniture and appliances instead of dragging them to a dumpster. Fellow students, not random people. Safe, easy, and secure.
Jobs makes it easy to get things done around campus. Post what you need help with, set a price, and connect with another student who can take care of it for you. From everyday errands to the times you just need an extra pair of hands, it’s a simple way to save time and get help from people in your own campus community. And when you have time to spare, you can pick up jobs yourself.
Kangaroo isn’t trying to replace Uber or Lyft. It’s for the trips they don’t really cover — heading home for fall break, getting to the airport, making the drive into the city. Post where you’re going and find students from your own campus making the same trip. Already driving? Take someone with you and split the cost of the drive. The goal is simple: make getting around more accessible for everyone on campus.
The best person to help you with a class is usually someone who just took it. Academia connects you with students on your campus who’ve had the same course, the same professor, and the same exams. Post exactly what you need help with — one concept, one chapter, one exam — set a price, and get help fast from someone who’s already been through it. And if you aced a class, you can help someone else do the same.
Every transaction follows the same clear flow.

Kangaroo is built by students, and we’re looking for more of them. Whatever you’re good at — engineering, design, marketing, getting the word out on campus — there’s a place for it. There’s no formal listing and no application process. Send an email, tell us what you’d want to work on, and we’ll take it from there.
