About Us
Welcome to Varsity Market – the ultimate marketplace designed exclusively for students, by students. We’re here to make campus life easier, more productive, and entrepreneurial for everyone.
Our Mission
At Varsity Market, we understand the frustration of being in a group chat for school, only to have it cluttered with unrelated ads for products or services. That’s why we created a dedicated platform for students to buy and sell products and services without the hassle.
Whether you’re looking for a laptop, textbooks, or even a tutor, Varsity Market has you covered. And for the aspiring entrepreneurs out there, we’ve got your back too. For just 10r per product upload, we handle the backend so you can focus on perfecting your product and growing your business. No more fear of judgment or lack of time – Varsity Market is here to help you succeed.
Together, let’s build a community where students can thrive, support each other, and achieve their goals.
Our History
Varsity Market was born out of a desire to solve real-world problems. Founded by Allen Gama, a second-year computer science student with a passion for business and problem-solving, the platform was created to address the inefficiencies in how students advertised and accessed goods and services on campus.
Allen, who also runs a successful tutoring business called Allen Academy Pty Ltd, noticed the endless “I know a guy who knows a guy” approach was outdated and frustrating. That’s when the idea for Varsity Market came to life – a centralized, student-friendly platform where everyone can buy, sell, and connect with ease. Built by students, for students, Varsity Market is here to revolutionize the way we do business on campus.

- Equality: Everyone deserves a fair chance to succeed.
