Transforming education by offering a new way to interact with students, a new way to provide a sense of belonging, and a new way to build relationships in a way students understand. My passion is to create the medium that will motivate students in the 21st Century.

We will develop indices, algorithms and unique analytics, and we intend to file patents to protect our market position. By connecting existing databases, providing step-by-step guides, allowing a support team to communicate directly with each other and detecting needs with automated alerting, GuidEd will provide better opportunities to achieve for students and unify support team in a way that is positive, motivating, and increases caring communication.
