Strengths
says, "Strong mission, big need for colleges, can definitely see a path to success here and a win win outcome for students and universities"
says, "Founder appears to be highly motivated and highly focused on doing good! There's a whole lot of energy in there! Do think a good market spaces (institutions and students) have been identified. Good to focus regionally, too (northeast) to get started."
Advice
says, "Two sided marketplaces are hard and one side is usually harder; focus on the side of the market that is tougher and ensuring mass adoption"
says, "Don't underestimate the competition, and they're there! If you can, why can't they. Assume they can, then move to do it better than they can."

What Investors Say

As a leader in the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion space I truly believe in the need for this product for low income, under represented people across the US. Under represented populations are often unaware of the opportunities and options they have in terms of secondary education. On the other hand Colleges and Universities have a need to fill gaps in diversity and cognitive diversity as we all work to make our world a more diverse and inclusive place. I believe Prepps will solve this issue for both under represented, low income students as well as College recruitment.
