Our story
In 2017, our founders Sam and Sol were studying at UCL when it became clear that earning money to support university life was an impossible challenge for most students. Balancing lectures, exams, coursework, societies and socials with ever-rising rents, cost of living and tuition fees felt impossible. The system was broken.
Something needed to change.
After approaching over 1,000 businesses about staffing, an idea sparked. Sam and Sol realised the way that the hospitality industry traditionally staff was flawed and students were uniquely placed to solve this problem.
So in 2018, Stint was born.
What began as a small group of students helping people find short shifts over WhatsApp, snowballed into a groundbreaking app that has now connected over 250,000 people to hundreds of top brands in hospitality for flexible part-time work.
Today, our mission remains the same, but with one difference:
We're not only empowering students to earn money flexibly around university, we're revolutionising the entire hospitality industry...
