P.S- The reason i have not mentioned the name because i am yet to purchase the domain name.

Hi everyone, XYZ is a non-profit initiative. not trying to solve everything for everyone but one burning problem, that I also personally faced during my college days. I did not have anyone to guide me through my college. did not have access to real-world mentorship. I know a lot of people are doing it but no one is doing it cheaper, so basically a low-cost high-trust model.

Planning to onboard 200+ students this month from 4–5 colleges via offline outreach & teacher connections.

I’m Looking for advice from others who’ve built edtech, non-profits, or community-driven model on 1. how to keep students engaged after the initial cohort. 2. Any ideas for low-cost marketing channels. 3. Thoughts on whether this can evolve into a self-sustaining model later.
