Business Idea: A peer-to-peer mentoring platform connecting students planning to study abroad with those who have already experienced it, providing firsthand advice, guidance, and support to ease their journey.
Problem: Many students feel overwhelmed, confused, and unprepared when planning to study abroad, lacking access to authentic insights and practical tips from experienced peers.
Solution: An online community platform where aspiring international students can connect with alumni and current students who have studied abroad, enabling real-time conversations, mentorship, and resource sharing to simplify planning and decision-making.
Target Audience: Prospective international students, high school and college students considering studying abroad, and recent graduates eager to share their experiences.
Monetization: Premium features such as personalized mentorship sessions, access to exclusive content, and partnerships with education consultancies. Also, sponsored content and advertisements targeting students.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP): Authentic, experience-based connections with verified mentors who have firsthand knowledge, creating a trusted community unlike impersonal online search resources.
Launch Strategy: Start with a minimal viable platform where students can sign up, browse mentors, and request chats. Reach out to initial mentors through social media and student communities, gather feedback, and iterate quickly before expanding features.
