UniSalad started in 2013 as a Facebook Group for Nottingham University students to buy and sell unwanted tickets for nights out. Founder & Director, Rebecca De Beukelaer, created the group whilst studying at the University of Nottingham.

After five years of rapid organic growth of more than 35,000 Nottingham students and huge popularity, the Facebook platform showed limitations to the group’s potential, and its founder decided to transform the group into something more secure, easy to use and valuable. In January 2019, the UniSalad app was born.
UniSalad is a student-only platform where users can connect with other students from the same university. The app is made up of the following sections:
