## Story
The $10Billion college recruitment industry needs change. 1. A college of Pharmacy, for example, has no database to search for high school students interested in Pharmacy.  That doesn't exist! (very weird, right?). 2. Minority grad rates are currently at half that of White students, in large part to lack of diversity on campus and not feeling as they belong. 3. Over 70% of students from low-income districts are never made aware of all their options. 4. An average college spends $140,000 on ads and still doesn't achieve satisfactory results. PREPPS is the solution to all these problems.PREPPS allows colleges to search, connect and recruit students digitally. Through Prepps, elite colleges can fulfill diversity commitments by reaching low-income communities. "ZipRecruiter® for schools and colleges" - Business InsiderAs seen on:Here's how PREPPS works:See ‘how’ exactly will this platform help.Market ResearchIn fact, some colleges spent 40% of tuition revenue on adverts to attract new students.Did you know that a majority of the highest performing students from low-income districts never apply to a single competitive college?

## FAQ
1. **Hi, are you all planning on remaining an LLC for tax purposes, and do you expect to become profitable any time soon?**
   - Hi Lucas, thank you for the question. At this time the plan is to remain an LLC. To entice colleges, we are offering the first year free. This will delay profitability until year 3 according to our projections. Revenue generated in year 2 will be reinvested back into the platform and the hiring of sales personnel for topline growth.
