Sales Development Representative

Hi Potential Co-Worker,

My name is Jason. I'm the CEO of GrantMe.

We are building the technology and community to guide a student on their education journey. We are solving the "I don't know problem" that students and their families face each day with their education.

"I don't know which school is best."
"I don't know how to get in."
"I don't know how to pay for it."
"I don't know if I have the grades."
"I don't know if my child will make it into their program."

These are just a few of the "I don't knows of education." When a student comes into contact with GrantMe, our mission is to solve these problems for them.

We’re one of Canada’s fastest-growing startups and we have assembled a team of high-performers who are striving to be world-class in everything we do. We believe that we can solve student’s problems better than anyone else with our approach of combining world-class service, technology, data science, and personal development.

We are intentional about creating a brand and culture that is consistent all the way through from company leadership to our students.
