VisitDays is a New York-based edtech company that builds a software platform to simplify international student recruitment for U.S. colleges and universities.[1][2][3] It connects prospective undergraduate and graduate students with over 1,800 institutions through virtual events like open houses, fairs, and accepted student days, while using data analytics and AI tools—such as AI Gambit—for enrollment insights, attrition prediction, and retention strategies.[1][3][5] Serving international students, higher education institutions, and K12 districts, VisitDays solves recruitment challenges by enabling personalized engagement, targeted advertising via partnerships like MPower, and streamlined virtual experiences from anywhere.[1][3] With under 25 employees, revenue under $5 million, and total funding also under $5 million across two rounds, the company shows steady but modest growth momentum, bolstered by technical optimizations and integrations like Salesforce and Zoom.[1][2][5]
Founded to empower international students pursuing U.S. higher education, VisitDays emerged from a recognition of fragmented recruitment processes, led by CEO Sujoy Roy and a team emphasizing counselors' expertise in matching students' academic profiles, language skills, and aspirations.[1][3][4] Headquartered at 211 E 43rd St in New York City, the company has evolved its platform to handle virtual events and AI-driven analytics, with early technical pivots including database migrations to Amazon RDS Aurora for performance gains and integrations for scalability.[3][4][5] Pivotal moments include partnerships like MPower for global reach via 300,000 monthly visitors and implementations at institutions like the University of Missouri-St. Louis for attrition tools, driving early traction in enrollment support.[3][5]
VisitDays rides the surge in international student mobility and virtual education post-pandemic, capitalizing on U.S. institutions' need to compete globally amid rising enrollment demands.[1][3] Timing aligns with AI advancements in edtech—prompt engineering democratizes complex data analysis for attrition prediction—while market forces like hybrid recruiting and partnerships amplify reach to high-traffic platforms.[3] It influences the ecosystem by bridging K12-to-higher-ed pipelines, enhancing retention via proactive tools, and scaling impact through technology that automates routine tasks for admissions teams.[1][5][6]
VisitDays is poised to expand its AI Gambit for deeper predictive analytics and global partnerships, targeting higher retention rates as universities prioritize data-driven enrollment amid demographic shifts.[3] Trends like AI democratization and virtual-first recruiting will accelerate growth, potentially boosting funding and user base beyond current modest scale. Its influence may evolve from niche recruiter to ecosystem enabler, empowering more students to access U.S. education through personalized, tech-scaled pathways—reinforcing its core mission to simplify dreams into reality.[1][4]
VisitDays has raised $580K across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $580K Seed in August 2015.
