Hello, we’re native - the home of student engagement. native is the student engagement and campus media platform connecting brands, campus teams and millions of students through one integrated marketplace. We make it easier for advertisers to reach and engage students at scale, and for campuses to generate sustainable revenue that funds student life. Founded to solve a growing challenge: students are harder to reach and feel more disconnected, while the organisations that support them face increasing financial pressure. At the same time, students are one of the most valuable Gen Z audiences for brands, yet one of the hardest to engage. What began as a way to surface what was happening on campus has become the UK’s leading student engagement and campus media platform, helping brands and campus teams understand, engage and retain students across most UK universities and a growing network of US campuses. Our focus has stayed the same: helping campuses create stronger student experiences so every student gets more out of university.

Gravitee is how you can finally manage event streams and agentic AI as securely and easily as traditional APIs – and bring together all your APIs in one place, no matter the gateway, broker or agent. Companies want to share more event-driven data than ever, but constant constraints – from security concerns to inflexible tech, to a lack of discoverability and more – keep getting in the way. But when you can bring all your APIs together, build your API program without limits, and be ahead of where APIs are going, you can hold nothing back. That’s why 100+ global organizations rely on Gravitee, and it’s why we’re a leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for API management.
