Our Mission
To bring transparency to College Admissions and empower students to find schools that fit their unique personalities, talents, and career aspirations.
The Opportunity
Finding the right college should be an exciting time, but the opaque nature of admissions and overabundance of schools and information creates stress and anxiety. Students strive for the same highly-selective schools (72/2,800) without clear understanding of what makes a school a good fit.
Our Solution
We are hard at work developing our products to use analytics and AI-driven insight to give students a clear view of how their profile aligns with a school's acceptance criteria and guide them through identifying schools that are also a cultural fit. With our data-driven solution we hope to evolve the college process from a period of stress into a journey of self-discovery.
Who We Are
We are a team of out-of-the-box thinkers, business strategists, technologists, and data scientists who met in Big-4 consulting and at Internet of Things companies. We have consulted to the Fortune 100 and Startups, worked in Silicon Valley and developed systems at Internet scale. With backgrounds in Computer Science and a passion for entrepreneurship, we are dedicated to using our expertise to bring fact-based analysis to College Admissions.

Where We Went to School
Our University Experience
We have decades of experience volunteering on University Advisory Boards and Foundations of our alma maters. We have been university faculty, review Scholarship Applications for University of California schools, and advise High School students on College Admissions. We are also parents that have shared the stress of going through the College Admissions process and sifting through data to help our own students find a great fit.
