1. A Crisis in Education
Nationally 25% of students fail to graduate high school on time

2. “ Oregon’s high school graduation
rate fourth worst in nation.”
Betsy Hammond, The Oregonian Nov 28, 2012
• In Oregon 32% of high school students will not
graduate on time.
• In some Portland schools as many as 46% of
students are not graduating on time.
• Many will never graduate
• This is a major problem in our community

3. High school dropouts
-- More likely to be unemployed
-- Earn less money
More likely to go to

4. Reasons

students do not keep track of:

They are not motivated or empowered

9. Business Model
We will work with School Information Systems (SIS)
like local company Grade Tree, who provided us
with consultation. SIS's sell to school districts to
help them manage student information, can provide
us with the information Graduaide needs, and are a
great way to get our app into schools.
We will sell the app for .
99 cents. In 5 years we
will have a revenue of 5.9
million dollars and a
profit of 3.6 million
Revenue - $5.9 million dollars.
Cost - $2.3 million
Profit - $3.6 million

10. Marketing Plan
We will work with SIS school district customers to reach
teachers and guidance counselors so they recommend our
app, advertise on Facebook, do a story in the Oregonian,
and use the school mailing system to spread awareness.
Students will buy the app at the
Google Play app store for $.99

11. Next Steps..
• We'll finish our app programming
• Improve visual appeal: Create a cool app design
that students like
• Sell our app with School Information System
companies, to make it easy for parents and
students to get information on phones.
• Advertise to spread awareness when the app is
available in a school
• We’ll develop Apple and Blackberry apps to
reach a larger audience

12. With Graduaide we can all
imagine a bright future!
If you can imagine it, you can achieve it, If you can dream it, you can become it!
Graduaide will empower students, help them graduate, and imagine a bright future!
