Overview
Plexuss operates an online student opportunity network in EdTech, connecting students with colleges and post-secondary opportunities. Its web platform lets students research colleges, get personalized readiness reports, search scholarships, and connect with peers and admissions reps; profiles from ninth grade enable colleges to engage with potential candidates. It uses machine learning and data analytics to match students with about 18,000 worldwide schools, and offers premium tutoring and coaching through UnlimitedTutoring.com on a subscription basis. Revenue mainly comes from higher-ed institutions paying for access to a large pool of prospective students under a zero-party data model, with a Higher Education Practice providing enrollment management services; the goal is to help students navigate college planning and admissions while giving schools data-driven recruitment tools.
