We’re the trusted student recruitment partner to more than 600 higher ed institutions in 35 countries worldwide, including Boston University, University of Southern California, NYU, University of Cambridge, King's College London, HEC Paris, and Erasmus.
We’ve raised over $33M from top-tier investors, and we’re on course to achieve our mission of empowering 10 million students to make the right choices in their higher ed journey.
