3. Problem 1: students can’t get visas
The current immigration climate to the United States is challenging, generally
speaking, and the bulk of the demand to study in the U.S. comes from regions of the
world (Middle East, China) that are currently considered problematic meaning (1)
highly competitive process and (2) schools are making available fewer Visas.

4. Problem 2: students ghosting once here
There is a growing problem with students “ghosting” once they arrive on campus due
to numerous reasons, primarily being (1) misinformation on where they were going
and what they would be studying and (2) lack of connection to their culture and/or
other students “like them”

5. Solution: better student engagement
Sophistic.io addresses these 2 problems by
directly connecting students to students.
Unfiltered. Uncensored. Real People.

6. How it works.
A unique UI and algorithm
matches users to current and
former students “just like
them” in places “they would
like to go” and redesigns
content to match the profile.
Cloud-based indexable
presentations and matching
profiles are created that can
be viewed and shared.
Automatic engagement
scheduling is offered based
on preferences of
contributing students.
Engagements are tracked
and stored for reference.
