Why are you working on Ponder?
We didn’t start Ponder just to help students get into top 20 colleges.
We started Ponder because we realized that society, the real world, and the job market value real impact and meaningful projects far more than GPAs. Yet, traditional education does little to prepare students for that reality. That’s where we saw the immense potential of an AI mentor to guide students in creating impactful extracurricular projects.
Elite colleges are noticing this shift as well, placing greater emphasis on admitting applicants with extraordinary, real-world achievements. Our goal is to help you become one of those standout individuals.
