UNIVERSITY RESEARCH & REVIEW, LLC
Offering a revolutionary, but proven approach
to solving several very big, related problems
How did the idea to start this company originate?
WHO? Our primary founder was CEO at a small, little known
university through 2010. One thing frustrated him to no end…
WHAT? His university had to buy leads (prospective enrollee
contact information) in order to increase enrollment. Every lead
vendor provided low-quality leads. Frustrated, he asked “Why
can’t someone do this better?”
WHY? Massive market, high need, weak competition, timely
opportunity (if the right people are involved).
Our distinguished team
4 college CEOs/presidents
5 PhDs
2 EdDs
1 provost
3 higher-ed entrepreneurs
2 former JD Power execs
2 former Wall St analysts
1 enrollment exec
Plus…
Barry Layne
Chief Marketing Officer
Thomas Laussermair, PhD
Chief Technology Officer
Kurt Sagovac, MS, MBA
Vice President
– 21 million students are enrolled in college.
– 10 million will change majors.
– 6 million will change schools.
– 3 million will enroll in colleges and universities each
year while…
– 30 million “think about” enrolling.
– 12 million adults will change careers each year.
– 8 thousand colleges, universities, career schools. Half
have enrollment issues.
– Each is a prospective customer.
A mammoth market
We address big, related problems
Problem: Falling or stagnant enrollment (at Colleges)
“Enrollment Goals Elude Many Colleges”
The Chronicle of Higher Education
Problem: Poor decision making (by Students)
• 50% college students change majors
• 33% change schools
Problem: Dissatisfaction with careers (by employees)
Typical U.S. worker now lasts 4.6 years on job - MarketWatch
Why is enrollment a problem?
Large colleges = marketing dynamos!
Smaller, low profile schools = marketing duds!
Over 40% of private colleges didn’t meet 2014
enrollment or tuition goals.
The Chronicle of Higher Education
Why is changing fields of study or
changing schools a problem?
Lost time
Lost money
Climbing debt
According to CareerBuilder
1. Only 26% work in the field they majored in at
college, and
2. 36% wish they’d majored in something different
1 + 2 = Opportunity
There are no credible, low cost, mass-market
“career change” advisory services.
Why is dissatisfaction with
careers a problem?
Our solutions
• For colleges
Highly qualified potential enrollees sourced and
prequalified by us.
• For students of all ages
Expert guidance in selecting Field of study/major and
college or university
• For career changers
Expert guidance to determine the most appropriate
field (and related academic path)
How we solve students’ problems
• Personalized recommendations
• Science + technology + experience: Personality
profile test suggests suitable vocational areas;
massive databases, proprietary algorithms
• Interaction, not just lists or rankings!
• Recommend major and 3-5 appropriate schools
Proprietary technology
17-pg PDF file available…
illustrating entire process,
starting with student, ending
with referral to 3-5 colleges.
How we solve schools’ problems
• We introduce highly qualified potential
enrollees to a school’s admissions office
- Our experts recommended the school
- School name is now familiar to student
- Detailed information on student provided to
admissions office
NOTE: These are potential enrollees who may not
otherwise find or apply to the recommended schools.
• Personalized recommendations
• Science + technology + experience:
Personality profile test suggests suitable
vocational areas; massive databases,
proprietary algorithms
• Interaction: advice from a human!
• Recommend most appropriate careers and
appropriate degrees and schools
How we solve career changers’
problems

  • 2. How did the idea to start this company originate? WHO? Our primary founder was CEO at a small, little known university through 2010. One thing frustrated him to no end… WHAT? His university had to buy leads (prospective enrollee contact information) in order to increase enrollment. Every lead vendor provided low-quality leads. Frustrated, he asked “Why can’t someone do this better?” WHY? Massive market, high need, weak competition, timely opportunity (if the right people are involved).
