About Elevate
Who we are.
We built Elevate as UVA students because the meal plan we wanted didn't exist. Ten years later, students across five campuses use it to skip the dining hall and eat at the restaurants they actually want.

Our story
The meal plan we wished existed in college.
We founded Elevate to create the meal plan we wished existed when we were in college.
As students at UVA, we were frustrated with the dining hall plans. We wasted money each semester when leftover dining hall swipes expired, and we were tired of eating mediocre dining hall food.
With so many great restaurants right off campus, we wished we could use our meal plan at the restaurants we actually wanted to eat at. So we built it ourselves.
Ten years later, students have placed more than 2 million orders on Elevate. We can't wait to serve students again this semester.
