Public high schools are struggling to provide students with basic college-prep and career-related services. Alumni could fill the gap by sharing their knowledge and connections with students. But schools lack the capacity to cultivate the latent social capital and human capital of alumni networks toward the benefit of current students. BetterGrads is an education startup that equips students with the tools they need to tap into the vast knowledge, networking, mentoring, and fundraising potential of their school’s latent alumni networks and wider support communities.
