RaiseMe is expanding access to higher education by reinventing how students earn scholarship dollars from colleges. Our platform allows colleges and universities to award incremental "micro-scholarships" to high school and community college students, based on academic, testing, extracurricular, and real-world experience.

We've partnered with with close to 300 colleges, and have users in 4 out of 5 high schools within the US. Many of our students earn tens-of-thousands of dollars for college. The coolest part of our platform is how it educates students about the possibility of college in the first place. Many of our users are first-generation college attendees, or minority or low-income students.

We closed our Series B in 2018, bringing our total funding to around $30M. Our investors include Salesforce Ventures, Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative, The Emerson Collective, Teamworthy Ventures, and First Round, among others.
