About the company
Plexuss operates an online education technology platform that connects students with universities and post-secondary opportunities. It provides free college research tools, personalized readiness reports, scholarship searches, and peer-to-institution connections, with student profiles available from ninth grade that colleges can view to engage candidates. The platform uses machine learning and data analytics to match students with about 18,000 schools worldwide and offers UnlimitedTutoring.com for subscription-based tutoring in 90+ subjects. Revenue mainly comes from colleges and universities that pay for access to its large pool of prospective students, and Plexuss added a Higher Education Practice in 2019 to help institutions with enrollment planning and analytics.
