Company mission
To remove the barriers for students around the world to reach their full potential.
15% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Career guidance is often daunting, but in the rapidly evolving work and educational climate, getting clear, high-quality guidance has never been more important. While talent is distributed equally across the world, opportunity is not.
BridgeU was founded with the aim of empowering any student to find and explore the most suitable educational pathways available, wherever they may be in the world. To do this, it partners with schools and offers personalised software and solutions to individual students, so they can make better-informed life decisions.
Currently helping students in over 100 countries, BridgeU aims to continue this global expansion further into Asia while consolidating its existing relationships with educational institutions. It does this with a remote-first approach to work, allowing any employee to help students realise their full potential.
