Employer: CollegeVine
Who we are
Our mission is to become the trusted source of lifelong guidance for the next generation, helping millions of families find paths toward better life outcomes.
When students research and prepare for big life decisions such as college admissions, most are overwhelmingly relying on limited information gathered in an unsophisticated way. However, as with so many aspects of our lives, the latest technology and data techniques are changing what’s possible.
In the span of a few years, our team has made it possible for families to run their entire process for free in one place, sharpen their intuitions with ML-aided simulations or peer advice, interact with and be recruited by admissions officers from top schools in the US, learn from the best experts via free livestreams, or even purchase professional services to aid in their journey. Indeed, CollegeVine our flagship brand targeting the high school to workforce transition reached over 20 million families in 2021.
The vibrancy of our solutions is made possible by a platform strategy, which exposes our business model (and your career!) to upside from B2C, B2B, marketplace, network effects, and data advantages in a structured and sustainable way. So if solving a meaningful problem at a fast-growing and category-winning tech startup sounds like the next chapter of your career, then we can’t wait to meet you!
