The problem
Planning a future shouldn’t feel like a part-time job.
Opportunities are scattered
Internships live on one site, volunteering on another, scholarships in a PDF your counselor emailed in October. Nothing is in one place.
Real guidance is expensive
Private college counselors can run $150–300 an hour. Most families never get a chance to ask someone who's actually done it.
Students feel overwhelmed
Pick a major, build a resume, find a mentor, apply to ten things by Friday — with no sense of which ones are actually worth their time.
What you get

From students like you
It’s working for people who felt exactly as stuck as you do now.
“I'd bookmarked maybe six different sites trying to find research programs. PathAhead put everything in one feed and actually ranked them by how well they fit me — I found my summer lab program in twenty minutes.”
Asha R.
11th grade, considering Biology & Public Health
“I took the major quiz mostly as a joke and it actually nailed it. I'd never have thought to look at Data Science until it showed up next to Econ and CS on my results.”
Marcus T.
10th grade, undecided major
“Booking a session with a Wharton mentor for $65 was so much cheaper than the consultants my friends were paying. She rewrote how I was thinking about my whole essay, not just the wording.”
Devon L.
12th grade, applying to business programs
“As a parent, the dashboard is what sold me — I can see my daughter's saved opportunities and actually have informed conversations at dinner instead of guessing what she's working on.”

Parent of a 9th grader
