RaiseMe is on a mission to improve access to higher education by transforming the way billions of dollars of financial aid get distributed each year. Rather than waiting until the end of high school to award aid, which is too late to impact students' college ambitions or application decisions, RaiseMe enables students to earn aid towards college throughout high school and community college, starting as early as 9th grade, for doing all the things that best prepare them to succeed both in and outside of the classroom.
RaiseMe is building on the growing body of research that shows the benefits of increased transparency of financial aid, the power of nudges, and the effectiveness of performance-based aid in improving student outcomes. Students in four out of every five high schools in America are earning aid on RaiseMe from a growing list of 300+ colleges like ASU, Carnegie Mellon, Penn State, NYU, and Georgia Tech.
Each day at RaiseMe, we're focused on making sure that all students have the opportunity to achieve their college and career ambitions. We're looking for passionate high-achievers who want to build a company that will help millions of students around the world.
If that's you, join our team and let's create a brighter future for students everywhere.

Inadco unlocks the true potential of digital advertising by enabling two-way communication between consumers and marketers across desktop and mobile. Marketers use Inadco's platform to create native ad units called Form Ads and serve them to consumers who have demonstrated intent for a specific product or service.

This creates a better experience for consumers and guarantees marketers a higher return on investment.
Inadco is funded by Redpoint Ventures, US Venture Partners, Ron Conway (SV Angel), Mike Walrath (Right Media), Matt Coffin (LowerMyBills.com) and Bill Lee (Remarq).
