Empowerly (www.empowerly.com) is an education technology company dedicated to democratizing college admissions through personalized college and career counseling. Committed to empowering students to become the most successful version of themselves, we provide tailored guidance backed by data-driven education technology. Our offerings include startup and research internship programs and expert counseling from former college Admission Officers and experienced college counselors, all designed to level the playing field in college admissions.
As a rapidly growing, mission-driven, and venture-backed company, we emphasize collaboration, data-driven decision-making, and empowerment. In February 2024, Empowerly raised $15 million in a funding round led by Conductive Ventures. This new capital will support the expansion of our services, enhance our machine learning capabilities, and aid in the development of our first mobile app, set to launch in the U.S. by the end of 2024. To date, Empowerly has raised $30 million.
Empowerly operates on a remote-first basis, building a team of individuals who excel in remote environments and are passionate about making high-quality college counseling accessible to all students, regardless of their background or location.
