🗺 Company Overview 

Never before has the higher education industry experienced so much change. On the heels of the pandemic, colleges and universities are taking a closer look at how they can continue to drive educational return-on-investment for their students. How institutions attract, convert and retain a diverse student population is critical to get right. That's where Unibuddy comes in.

Unibuddy is on a mission to empower students to make the right decisions throughout their higher education journey. Institutions who adopt our unique peer-to-peer platform are able to connect prospective students with current students and staff through one-on-one chat, communities, live events and more. In this way, Unibuddy extends and amplifies the institution's voice to support recruitment, admissions and retention efforts.

Unibuddy has experienced explosive growth since launching in 2017. We now work with over 450 higher ed institutions in 35 countries worldwide. We’ve raised over $33M from top-tier investors that will fuel our expansion and help us achieve our ambitious goal of empowering 10 million students to make the right choices in their higher ed journey.
