Anyone who spends four years and 100K for a liberal arts degree should expect no respect or sympathy when they can't repay their loans.
Amazing woman – inspirational!
No one cares about your history. Get straight to the product!
though I had trouble understanding her until I turned on the captions, my daughter knows about this app.
Hm, I thought it would be about obtaining tuition online which costs much less than offline, but its just another marketplace
The most obvious solution to high education costs, is to make as many of those classroom/lecture courses online as possible.
If you are sitting in a lecture hall with 100 other students, there's no reason that course could not be online.
Higher education is big business, and they do not want to lower costs. They could, dramatically, but they won't.
Student loans make college affordable too!
It is rather concerning that the story focuses more on the social narrative rather than the application/features / services.
When you say your app gives money back and the example on screen show a person getting .01 back it kinda deflates that statement. Especially after telling people they can narrow and focus their scholarship choices, which means even less money back due to filing fewer applications.
This is an Ad
If you look close enough, each video is made for VC investors and is in fact a marketing material. Am I too cynical?
Thanks for sharing our story and helping us tear down all financial barriers to opportunity 🚀
ROUND… Micro Loans?
US student debt is bigger then Brazil's GDP 😮
I know this app, it's OK. It's improved over the years though.
So how does MOS get paid?
Y'all used to be much more based. Can you present your information more concisely? If not, I'm gonna find other sources.
The why is interesting for sure, but this video is very light on substance of the whats and hows. And as a Bloomberg viewer I do want just a teeny bit more detail.
"the app that can make college affordable" lets be real we all thought onlyfans originally looooool

How does this solve the problem? All it does is allow students to find potential scholarships/jobs. Soon colleges will abuse this system and increase their fees and ask you to use this app to find scholarships similar to how hospitals ask people to use gofundme to pay their medical bills.
I feel like this doesn't actually solve the problem. It's a band-aid or countermeasure and doesn't actually decrease the cost of the actual education. I feel like too many edtech companies focus on catering to / replicating the existing education industry and not actually disrupting/reinventing it.
Believing in the 99%? I think they mean the 99% of America. You only need to make an income of 60k to be in the global 1%, which means 62% of America is in the global 1%.
Sounds awesome
how is this giving you the tools that the 1% have that the 99% do not have? The 1% don't use scholarships, they just pay the full university fee.
