CollegeVine is an AI company dedicated to transforming operations at colleges, universities, and other educational institutions. By leveraging a sophisticated platform of customizable AI agents, proprietary data, and an extensive network comprising millions of high school students, CollegeVine empowers these institutions to significantly enhance revenue generation while concurrently reducing administrative operational costs. The company's core mission is to make higher education more accessible. It addresses the challenge of rising tuition costs and decreasing enrollment by aiming to re-engineer the higher education operating system. CollegeVine's AI-driven solutions cater to various stages of the student lifecycle.

Founded in 2013 by Zack Perkins, Vinay Bhaskara, and Johan Zhang, CollegeVine was born out of their personal experiences navigating the complexities of the college admissions process and the recognized need for more personalized, data-driven guidance. Initially focused on providing college admissions guidance services for high school students, the company has evolved to offer a broader range of AI-powered tools. These tools include an AI Recruiter to guide prospective students, an AI Advisor for currently enrolled students to support retention and success, and an AI Ambassador to engage alumni and foster lifelong institutional affinity. CollegeVine's platform is designed to integrate with existing university systems, such as CRM, SIS, and ERP, to create a cohesive and personalized experience from prospective student to alumnus. The company emphasizes security and compliance, adhering to standards like FERPA, CCPA, SOC2 II, and GDPR, and ensures institutions retain ownership of their data. Over 350 colleges and universities have utilized CollegeVine to find, engage, and recruit students, and more than 3,500 counselors are part of its network.
