Univer.se: The Future of Website Building Wharton Tech Toks

    • Technology

Join us as we talk to Joseph Cohen, Founder and CEO at Univer.se. Ever wanted a website to launch and grow your business or side-hustle? Or perhaps you wanted a place to showcase your creativity online? Even if you have no idea where to start and are a non-coder, Univer.se has got you covered.

Univer.se is a mobile drag and drop website builder that makes creating a personal portfolio to an ecommerce shop as easy as editing a photo on Instagram and as fun as playing with Legos. Part of the no-code movement, Univer.se is meant to increase flexibility and creativity in website building by making it “hands on.” As of Spring 2022, when this episode was recorded, Univer.se had 500k monthly creators and small businesses users and the team had recently raised a Series B round at $30M.

In this episode, Joseph talks about the inspiration for Univer.se and how Univer.se fits into the hype behind Web3 and NFTs. We also explore how the team incrementally built up the platform by focusing on user needs and by bringing on independent and creative hires. We then talk about the future of Univer.se as the company looks to expand while staying true to their mission and values. Finally, Joseph talks about his own journey from Wharton undergraduate drop-out to successful founder and entrepreneur.
