To help students take control of their future in higher education.
CEO: Seun Suberu
Seun Suberu created CollegePlus in a team at Google because he felt like the college admissions process was too confusing for most students to make such an important decision. CollegePlus started as a small web app and has expanded to an app and multimedia presence since then. CollegePlus now has many features (and many more to come) to accommodate the needs of the average college student.
