About Us

We are a team of former community college transfer students, first-generation graduates, military officers, and Division I athletes on a mission to transform higher education.

Our goal is simple

“Make it possible for every transfer student to earn the degree of their dreams and bring AI to the forefront of higher education enrollment.”

Our Team

Our shared journey fuels a deep sense of purpose and urgency to create technology that simplifies the transfer process, empowers students, and delivers measurable impact for institutions. We are builders, operators, and problem-solvers driven to reimagine what’s possible in higher education.
