Students from various schools worked together for several months to create a new software startup for the SMU community.

Helpple was created to connect anyone at SMU who is looking for help with anyone who is willing to help.

“Whether that’s with studying, food delivery, printing resumes for the career fair, or anything else college students need help with on a day-to-day basis,” developer Austin Wells said.

To use the site, students sign up with their SMU emails. According to Wells, the site uses geofencing to ensure that only members of the SMU community respond to campus requests.

Wells worked with a team of students. Three Lyle students, one Meadows student, one Cox student and one Dedman student collaborated to create the new app software.

“We’ve definitely got a team that branches over the whole school,” Wells said.

The group held a limited launch party Thursday at 4 p.m. in the Huitt-Zollars Pavillion of the Embrey Engineering Building.

The software solution is set for public release soon. After its release at SMU feedback from the community, Helpple plans to expand to other universities.
