About AKALA

About company

Our knowledge economy requires a college degree or vocational certificate to succeed and yet 17,000 high schools in America DON’T have a dedicated college counselor. A graduate of Google launchpad and a GSV elite 200 startup, AKALA is a College Admissions Counseling platform that gives customized guidance to students as early as 8th grade and then guides their decision-making all the way through high school so they are the ideal college applicants by senior year. This blended model (tech + one-on-one) is scalable and will help close the massive Guidance Gap that exists in America today. This kind of service has traditionally only been made available to the super affluent. AKALA makes it available for everyone.
