Higher education admissions offices are increasingly burdened by rising application volumes and shrinking budgets, forcing staff to manage complex transfer credits and GPA recalculations using outdated manual processes. EdVisorly seeks to resolve these inefficiencies by digitizing the administrative "front door" of colleges, including major partners like Carnegie Mellon and the University of Connecticut. The company’s EddyAI platform reportedly slashes manual processing time by up to 85% while boosting data productivity sixfold.
EdVisorly Secures $13.3 Million to Automate College Admissions
Los Angeles-based EdVisorly has closed a $13.3 million Series A funding round, led by Breachway Capital, to overhaul the antiquated technology currently governing university enrollment. The capital injection aims to scale the company’s EddyAI platform, which replaces manual transcript processing with automated workflows for over 100 higher education institutions.
Founded by Air Force veteran Manny Smith, the firm plans to use the new funding to accelerate product development and bolster its engineering and leadership ranks. By automating the technical heavy lifting of admissions, the platform allows enrollment teams to shift their focus from paperwork to student support. The investment round included participation from Lumina Foundation, Strada Education Foundation, and U.S. News & World Report, signaling significant industry confidence in the company’s mission to modernize the student experience.
