The first academic planning platform that belongs to you, not the registrar. See every credit, every path, every option.
01 / The Problem
Students are flying blind. The path to graduation has always been there, the problem is no one could see it clearly. Not students, not advisors, not even institutions. The cost of that opacity is measurable.
43% of students change their major without seeing the full credit cost. The average extra semester costs $22,000. One in three first-generation students graduates late, for reasons a real-time audit would have caught early.
Opacity is the real problem. LaunchPoint is the light.

05 / About
Built from lived experience.
LaunchPoint was built from a simple observation: the students who needed the most clarity about their path were consistently the ones who had the least access to it. First-generation students. Students at under-resourced institutions. Students who couldn't get an advising appointment until it was too late.
The tools that existed were built for institutions, not students. LaunchPoint flips that model. The student owns the record. The student drives the relationship. The institution gets better data as a result.
"A world where every student, regardless of institution, ZIP code, or family background, can see their full path forward and own every step of it."
— Rachel Jackson, Founder · LaunchPoint APP
