If you are inspired by the power of education to advance social mobility and social capital, and love getting your hands dirty, let’s talk.
Who We Are
We are a bootstrapped and profitable impact startup that partners with some of the most innovative universities in the world to bring communities closer together.
Mission first. Our north stars are education, human connections, social capital, and economic mobility.
“Day One” focus. What matters most today to make our customers happy.
Open, transparent communication. Critical for a remote team that pulls on the same rope.
No boxes. We can’t afford NOT to hear everyone. And fresh perspectives are critical. Max really doesn’t know it all.
Inclusion and diversity. Our differences make us stronger (and thus even greater impact).
Curiousity and creativity. Challenging the status quo is neither simple nor straightforward.
Trusted by innovative institutions worldwide
10,000,000+ alumni ready to volunteer across our partners
