Klados for campuses
Klados helps students find a few people who share an interest and turn the conversation into a plan. They meet in small groups called Pods, inside their own college.
Klados is in an early pilot. Anything marked Planned isn’t available yet.

What students do in a Pod
A Pod is a small group built around one interest. Members talk, agree on a time, and meet up to do the thing they joined for.
Choose a Pod
Students pick at least five interests and the times they’re usually free. Klados suggests Pods that fit, and each student decides which ones to join.
Get talking
Every Pod has its own group chat. When a conversation needs a start, Klados can suggest an icebreaker question.
Make a plan
Anyone in the Pod can suggest a plan with a few times. Members vote, and the time most of them pick is confirmed.
Do it together
Board games, coffee between classes, a study session, a weekend run: whatever the Pod is for.

How college access is meant to work
An approved college email
Students sign up with an email address from their college’s domain. Only domains on Klados’s approved list can sign up.
Their own campus
The Pods a student sees and joins are from their own college, not the whole internet.
Pods of 6 or 12 Planned
Small enough that everyone in a Pod can actually talk. This is the size rule set for launch.
Starting a Pod Planned
Students choose a category, an interest and a size, and the new Pod appears in Discover for others to join.
Which colleges can sign up depends on the approved domain list. Sign-up isn’t open to the public yet.
Safety and moderation in the pilot app
These tools are in the current pilot app. They help students look out for each other and help the Klados team act on problems. They don’t guarantee anyone’s safety, so we also encourage meeting in public places, especially the first time.
Guidelines first
Everyone agrees to the community guidelines before they can join a Pod.
Report a member
A student can report someone in their Pod, with a reason, and can choose to leave the Pod at the same time.
Block
Blocking a member hides their messages. It can be undone later.
Leave at any time
A student can leave a Pod whenever they want.
A private check-in
After a confirmed plan has taken place, each member can privately say whether everything was okay. Other members don’t see the answer.
Reviewed by people
Reports go to the Klados team, who can dismiss them, warn, remove someone from a Pod, suspend an account for 30 days or ban it.
Request a demonstration
Tell us about your college and what you’d like to see. We’ll walk you through Klados and answer questions about how a pilot could work.
Terms for colleges, pilot arrangements and anything a college would receive from Klados aren’t published. We’d rather talk them through than promise them on a web page.
