December 9, 2016
Tampa, FL – December 9, 2016 –Bisk Ventures, Inc. is pleased to announce that it has completed an investment in and partnership with AdmitHub, an edtech startup which builds conversational artificial intelligence (AI) to guide students on the path to and through college.
AdmitHub was founded in 2014 to provide students with access to the resources they need, when and where they need them. Through AdmitHub’s chatbot, students receive important reminders, supportive guidance and answers to thousands of questions via text message or Facebook Messenger. Since AdmitHub’s virtual assistants are capable of handling the vast majority of messages, counselors are freed up to support students that need extra guidance.
“Texting is students’ preferred method of communication,” said Mike Bisk, Founder and President of Bisk Ventures. “Meeting students where they are is imperative to student and institutional success. We are thrilled to partner with AdmitHub as they lead the way for nurturing student relationships and improving outcomes with intelligent mobile messaging.”
“Responsive, accessible technology tools can help guide students through an admissions and enrollment process that can often feel overwhelming and complicated – and can enable institutions to provide more personalized support for the students who need it most,” said AdmitHub CEO Andrew Magliozzi. “With this new funding, we can continue to develop our technology platform and scale to help more students around the world enroll and persist in their education.”
