Idea in Education

Introduction

A platform that connects high school Latinx students with alumni and current college students to unlock insider knowledge on admissions, scholarships, and college life, leveling the playing field for access to networks and opportunities.


Problem

Limited access to informal networks for underrepresented minorities, including the LatinX community, to connect with students and alumni in relevant higher education before college applications.


Opportunity

A platform that connects motivated LatinX college applicants with current students and alumni from similar backgrounds, recreating the informal networks traditionally accessible to those with deeper ties to higher education, at scale.
