The Problem


Counselor Shortage Leads to Missed Opportunities for Students 

In the US, students only receive an average of 38 minutes with their school counselor over their entire four years of high school. ( Source) For every guidance counselor in the country, there are 480 students. Parents are desperate for better solutions to help their children with college decisions.

This lack of support results in $2.3 billion in unclaimed scholarships and contributes to the $1.6 trillion student debt crisis. (Source)

The Solution


Using Digital Human Technology to Equip Students for Success

College Coaching Network was founded with the vision of providing students with access to their school counselors 24/7 using digital human technology. We use our technology-based solution to help students navigate through the college and career readiness process. 


Through our platform, students gain access to an AI powered experience that recreates traditional human interaction.  Our Digital Human Coach has been uploaded with 10’s of thousands of hours of college and career best practices to help students in Finding Scholarships, improving ACT/SAT test performance, writing essays for admissions and scholarships, Virtual College Tours, applying for Financial Aid, Money Management and even more.



The Market


A Massive Market Serving Students Everywhere

The EdTech industry is valued at $76.4 billion. Currently, there are 16.9 million students between public and private high schools, 19.6 million students in pursuit of their undergraduate degree, and an additional 5.3 million international students seeking funding for college.


*Source


With a total addressable market of 41 million students, our goal is to acquire a 3% market share within the next 3-5 years. Our business model previously consisted of charging school districts 5k to utilize our platform. With the emergence of Covid-19, the market demand for virtual scholarship training spiked and we had to pivot from a B2B company to a B2C and B2B company. Our new SaaS model provides students access to a 12-month membership subscription for only us $300/year. With the goal of reaching 1.25 million students, our revenue could reach $375 million.



Our Traction


A Fast-Growing Community of Users and Strong Partnerships

Since our launch, we have experienced tremendous growth, now with 43,000 students currently accessing our program. 




We currently partner with Sallie Mae to provide private scholarships, as well as the following foundations and individuals:

  • the Coca Cola Foundation
  • AFL CIO Labor Union
  • Big Brothers Big Sisters
  • Tom Corley, Author of Rich Habits
  • Comedian Eddie Griffin
  • Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Frank Murphy
  • And more!


What we do


A Simple Three Step System to Get Students Ahead

Our three-step approach connects students to opportunities already available to them that they often otherwise miss because of a lack of support. We guide students towards three primary areas: private scholarships, institutional scholarships, and early college credits. 




Step 1: Private Scholarships

Our platform assists students in finding private scholarships. Through our partnership with Sallie Mae, our students gain access to $24 billion in combined private scholarships.



We connect students to all additional scholarship aggregator databases out there so no opportunity goes to waste. In addition, our scholarship foundation podcast gives our students access to various local and national charity driven scholarships that are often overlooked. 


Step 2: Institutional Scholarships

The average student that fulfills the admissions criteria to attend prestigious, top-tier universities frequently opt-out of applying because they are petrified by the sticker price, even though these schools have massive endowments and robust aid programs. 



College Coaching Network teaches students how to leverage the award letters that they have received from their second or third choice college as a means of negotiation with their top schools.


This technique has proven to help students obtain greater financial aid in the form of scholarships and lessens the burden of student loan debt. 


Step 3: Early College Credits

We educate students on the various ways that they can obtain their high school diploma and simultaneously acquire an Associate Degree. Students in our program are taught about Advance Placement (AP) classes and Dual Credit courses.



AP classes increase a student's probability of acceptance into Ivy League universities and schools of high distinction because of the rigorous work they require. Meanwhile, dual credit courses allow a student the opportunity to work with a community college to obtain their associates degree along with their high school credit.


We educate our students on the distinctions between these two programs to ensure that they can take full advantage in a way that can greatly impact their futures. By engaging in these opportunities, parents can significantly reduce the burden of college cost by up to 50% at a fraction of the cost. 


Our Go-To-Market Strategies

We geo-target our audience by primarily using social media marketing campaigns. Our target market entails parents with students between the ages of 13-18 domestically and internationally.  Our FB marketing ads manager focus’ keeping our CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost) between $15-25 per customer and a ROI of 3:1-5:1 per campaign.  Utilizing Facebook and automated email marketing campaigns we believe we could capture 5-7% market share and acquire of 1 million students in the next 3 years or less paying $300/year for access to our program.



 We also plan to launch an affiliate network where influencers can promote our offering. We will also join Grin, the #1 influencer marketing program, to contract influencers to promote our brand and generate organic traffic to our sales funnels.


In addition, we have contracts with comedian Eddie Griffin and New York Times best selling author Tom Corley.


Helping Students Find their Perfect Path

Our Wealth Pathway Assessment project will give students the opportunity to discover their own wealth blueprint. Our assessment will allow students to envision the future they are best equipped for educationally, emotionally, financially and commutatively. 



We are launching this assessment in partnership with New York Times Best-Selling author Tom Corley, whose extensive research has identified the principles that can help create wealth in the life of anyone willing to commit to applying his proven principles.  


We want our students to discover how they are wired for financial success before they choose their career path. For example, some students will not thrive at a 9-5 job but are wired to start their own businesses. Our program will help students identify their true path to wealth and will provide them a roadmap on how to turn their dreams into reality.

This means eligible StartEngine shareholders will receive a 10% bonus for any shares they purchase in this offering.

FAQS

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.

With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000 are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, they are limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.

At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.

Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.

StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.

For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.

For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation policy in the company’s offering circular.

Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.

Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to be sent back to the account associated with the investment.

Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.

StartEngine Marketplace (“SE Marketplace”) is a website operated by StartEngine Primary, LLC (“SE Primary”), a broker-dealer that is registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA and the SIPC.

StartEngine Secondary (“SE Secondary”) is our investor trading platform. SE Secondary is an SEC-registered Alternative Trading System (“ATS”) operated by SE Primary that matches orders for buyers and sellers of securities. It allows investors to trade shares purchased through Regulation A+, Regulation Crowdfunding, or Regulation D for companies who have engaged StartEngine Secure LLC as their transfer agent. The term “Rapid,” when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace, specifically refers to transactions that are facilitated on SE Secondary, This is because, unlike with trades on the StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”), trades on SE Secondary are executed the moment that they are matched.

StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”) is a bulletin board platform on which users can indicate to each other their interest to buy or sell shares of private companies that previously executed Reg CF or Reg A offerings not necessarily through SE Primary. As a bulletin board platform, SE BB provides a venue for investors to access information about such private company offerings and connect with potential sellers. All investment opportunities on SE BB are based on indicated interest from sellers and will need to be confirmed. Even if parties express mutual interest to enter into a trade on SE BB, a trade will not immediately result because execution is subject to additional contingencies, including among others, effecting of the transfer of the shares from the potential seller to the potential buyer by the issuer and/or transfer agent. SE BB is distinct and separate from SE Secondary. SE Secondary facilitates the trading of securities by matching orders between buyers and sellers and facilitating executions of trades on the platform. By contrast, under SE BB, SE Primary assists with the facilitation of a potential resulting trade off platform including, by among other things, approaching the issuer and other necessary parties in relation to the potential transaction. The term “Extended”, when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace denotes that these transactions are conducted via SE BB, and that these transactions may involve longer processing times compared to SE Secondary for the above-stated reasons.

Even if a security is qualified to be displayed on SE Marketplace, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.
