🚀 Exciting Milestone Achieved During the Black Ambition Semi-Finalist Phase! 🚀 During our TechStars Demo Day, we set out to partner with 30 colleges this year, and the journey has been incredible. With early support from Tech Rise Chicago, we’ve taken EDUrain to the national stage. Check out our reel with a special nod to my childhood memories of playing NBA Jam and the Chicago Bulls (giving thanks to TechRise Chicago)! 🏀✨ Register now for TechChicago Week TechChicago Week 2024 – TechChicago (gotechchicago.com) Working with U-Penn and the Education Business Plan Competition, we revamped our pitch decks to reflect our vision as an education-oriented real estate business. We got real honest about our differentiators and the current state of affairs at EDUrain. @catalystpenngse From July 1st to July 17th, 100 student affairs and college housing directors registered to meet with us by September 1st – all achieved without any paid ads! This success came solely from community organizing through email campaigns, LinkedIn invites, and posts in higher education Facebook groups.

#repost from CEO Bryon Pierson Jr. “My aunt always called me the man in the area. She said somehow you always found a way to stay in the game and grow. When I was with the Hurst family the pastor at the church we went to used to do sermons that spoke about me being a wrestler, because he thought it was a perfect biblical story happening in real time. As a college wrestler on the daily basis I survived off of pieces of lettuce, turkey, cereal, and water, because I had to cut 20 pounds each week. I am proud that I am unofficially announcing EDUrain’s $1 Million dollar raise campaign and I did it at NPower’s graduation”! In life at Edurain.org we believe anyone can do anything if they put their mind to it! @npowerorg @wwt_inc
