More than 1 million international students come to the U.S. every year for college. Globally that number is approaching 4 million students per year that leave their home country to find a better college education as well as the life changing experience that goes along with it. The massive challenge for these 4 million students is to find the right school in the right country that matches their needs and expectations. The process of searching, applying, being accepted and then making the necessary arrangements can be a very overwhelming situation. SchoolApply.com is providing a valuable service and platform to make things easier on the students and their families.

SchoolApply.com was started in 2015, has raised $1.2 million and is now taking aim at this multi billion international student market. In my interview with Daniel we discuss the market opportunity, why he and his co-founder started this company, what kind of growth traction they are seeing, the different student acquisition strategies they have tried, their biggest challenges and surprises along the away, his advice for other aspiring entrepreneurs, what the future looks like for SchoolApply and much more.
