UBYou was created by Jack Hellmer while attending Florida Gulf Coast University as an Entrepreneurship student. Jack lost a family member the summer before the start of his sophomore year. As a result of this event, he experienced the physical and mental symptoms of anxiety for the first time. Jack realized that many students silently struggle with their mental health and frequently mask their symptoms. UBYou was built to change that. Adopted campus-wide at FGCU, the app quickly became a go-to resource for students. Today, UBYou serves thousands of students across the nation.

UBYou offers two core solutions: UBYou Campus Wellness, built for universities to provide to their entire campus community. UBYou Greek Life, built for national fraternities and sororities to provide to their chapters.

Both apps provide a confidential wellness check-in, a tailored campus resource hub, mental and physical health tools, and gamified engagement features that reduce stress, build connection, and strengthen student success.

More than a software company, UBYou is a true partner. We work hand-in-hand with students, campus professionals, and fraternity leaders to meet the real needs of students. UBYou believes each student population has their own unique set of challenges and we work to support those students in a tailored fashion.

Our mission is to enable and educate students with the knowledge, skills, and resources to prioritize their wellbeing in college, to be their happiest and most successful selves.

As an NIC Alliance Partner, UBYou proudly joins the fraternity community in strengthening member mental health, wellness, engagement, and success.
