Introducing the New LifeLaunchr!
We’re really excited to introduce the new LifeLaunchr as the world’s first virtual coaching platform for college planning!
We created LifeLaunchr over a year ago as a tool for students to use to tell their stories in a unique way for college admissions, career, and internships. In the year since we launched, over 35,000 students and 300 counselors and mentors have signed up to use the service. But as we added great features for counselors and parents, introduced paid coaching services and other new tools we realized the user experience was no longer as predictable and delightful as it needed to be.
So, after some hard thought, we decided to rebuild the entire platform – from the ground up. And we’re thrilled with the results.
