Squired

We've reached 3000 signups. This covers 63 total mentor signups, and just over 3000 students who've signed up through email, social login or our signup form. Our content marketing has been the primary driver here, bringing traffic through search, social and promotions done by our mentors on their own channels.

We launched our beta with mentor and student profiles, allowing them to connect with each other over Squired. The profiles let others see the universities they've been accepted to, attend and are applying to as well as their interests, activities and other key info for college applications.

We began as a content only website featuring profiles and content from students at top universities around the US. After growing our traffic over the past 2 years, we began hearing from students and other users who wanted to reach out for one-on-one help from the mentors we feature on the site. As of December, we've begun development of the new platform to enable these connections.
