About Gravy
Built for students. Valuable for local businesses.
Gravy connects Vanderbilt students to local discounts, internships, and events while giving Nashville businesses a respectful way to reach campus.
Everything is opt-in and relevant. Students see what matters, and businesses reach people who actually want the update.

How we operate
Every campus effort follows the same principles: student-built lists, respectful frequency, and trusted local partnerships. We keep the cadence intentional so every drop earns attention.
We collect limited contact info (email and phone) to deliver updates in the channels students prefer. Students can opt out at any time, and we never sell contact info directly to businesses.
For details on how the platform operates and how information is handled, see our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Inspiration story
When I first got to Nashville, I had to go to a lot of different places just to find good food. I kept discovering student discounts only after I had already paid or walked in.
It felt like the best spots and offers were scattered across flyers, group chats, and word-of-mouth. I would hear about a deal or a launch right after it ended, or from a friend who happened to be there.
That experience showed how scattered campus info can be. Gravy brings those local drops together so students can skim what matters, and businesses can share updates without the noise.
We built Gravy to make timing and discovery feel easy. Students get a clean feed of campus-relevant opportunities, and local businesses get a respectful channel that reaches the right people.
