Our take
In the competitive college admissions landscape, students face pressure to navigate the process effectively. Empowerly steps in to address this challenge, recognizing the inadequacy of traditional high school counseling services in providing specialized guidance amid skyrocketing application rates.
Empowerly's approach combines personalized counseling, AI-powered technology, and a suite of services to empower students in their pursuit of higher education. By leveraging proprietary algorithms such as the Empowerly Score, the company offers a holistic assessment of students' strengths and areas for improvement, guiding them towards enhancing their college application strategically.
Bolstered by recent funding, Empowerly is poised for expansion and innovation. The infusion of capital will fuel the development of its first mobile app and the enhancement of its AI-powered products, catering to the evolving needs of students and families.
