AdmitSee operates a peer-to-peer marketplace that pays college students to submit successful application files and lets high school students pay for mentor access and application-file viewing. The platform has amassed 50,000 application files and about 1,000 student mentors; the company is a two-year-old, 10-person startup founded in 2013 in San Francisco. Pricing on the site includes $10 paid to submitters plus $2 per view, $9 per week per mentor for Q&A, a $20 one-time essay-review fee, and $75 per month to view files from five chosen schools. AdmitSee says it is using trends from its data to advise applicants on school fit and early-admission strategy. Future plans include products to help undergraduates apply to graduate programs and a recruiting/job product to connect students with employers, with a potential lead-gen business aimed at law and business schools. The company has begun hiring (its first designer was recently hired) and plans to use new funding to grow brand awareness and hire salespeople.
