Sector:

Advertising, Marketing & PR

Location:

Atlanta, Georgia

Frapz is a modern advertising solution. It can advertise anywhere on college campuses by repurposing the backs of student laptops. Students get paid for their time, and advertisers get unrivaled access to the college demographic.

College campuses across the nation have policies that prohibit companies from advertising on campus.

Frapz circumvents these policies by leasing the backs of college students’ laptops for 3rd party advertisers. It then pays students for every minute their laptops are open in high-traffic areas on campus.

Frapz' target market is the 18-to-24 year-old college market.

Businesses pay a daily rate to be on a student's laptop.

Students are paid, per minute, to be in high-traffic, geo-fenced areas.
