An Exciting New Chapter at ConnectEd
We're starting an exciting new chapter here at ConnectEd.
This summer, I spent most of my time conducting B2B sales by partnering with college counselors and IECs to roll our product out to their entire student base, with a good amount of success. We currently have 15+ agency partners and ~130 firm-affiliate users, and we're glad to hear all the firsthand reports of student success and counselor satisfaction.
Then last week, I got a serendipitous LinkedIn DM from Jason Moon, asking to join the team and offering to contribute his skills in UGC marketing and making viral content. In a few short days, he has amassed >60k views and nearly tripled our organic userbase. It was evident that his story aligned strongly with our mission of increasing accessibility to research and education for students of all backgrounds, and we are excited to see where this new era of B2C takes us with our rapidly growing platform of authentic users.
Plus, shiny new UI/UX thanks to 20x Max Claude from Boris Cherny at YC Startup School 😁
