- Campus Steps
Participated · Series A · Apr 2015
Campus Steps provides mobile and web solutions that 'step' students through college readiness — from course planning and college selection to applications and financial organization — and connects them with counselors via text, messaging, or email. The platform leverages data-driven insights and a network of on-demand counselors to make college and career guidance more accessible. After a September 2014 beta, Campus Steps reached over 50,000 student visits per month, 20,000 student subscribers, and active accounts in roughly 6,300 U.S. high schools (about 20%). The company targets the roughly 25 million middle and high school students underserved by today's counseling system and cites a 471-to-1 average student-to-counselor ratio. Recent executive hires include CEO Mark Eastwood, CTO Dave Meyer, and CPO Jeanne Anderson. The company says the new funding will support rapid product development and increased marketing.
