CollegeBrain

CollegeBrain was an EdTech communication platform for college and high school students founded in 2011 by Jon Lazarus and Ron Craswell. The company, which is now defunct, was based in Mercer Island, Washington.

The platform provided a dedicated page for each university where current students could share experiences, post pictures, and answer questions about their campus life. This service was designed to give prospective high school students an inside look at schools they were interested in. The platform's goal was to facilitate communication and provide answers to student questions based on surveys and shared anecdotes from millions of students across the United States.

In August 2011, CollegeBrain raised $715,000 in a single seed funding round. Despite this initial investment, the company ceased operations at an unspecified date and is now considered deadpooled.
