Unigo.com operates a community-powered website that provides information for finding, getting in and paying for college, with content contributed by college counselors and enrolled students. The site hosts more than 200,000 multimedia reviews by students covering 6,500 campuses, available free of charge. Game mechanics incentivize counselors and students to compete as they contribute, which the company says produced a 400 percent increase in content over the past year. US News & World Report selected Unigo to provide student reviews for its rankings and directories. Unigo plans to use new capital to expand coverage to graduate schools and accredited universities outside the United States and to broaden its reach through alliances with publishers. The company raised $1.6 million in its first round of institutional funding, led by The McGraw-Hill Companies.
