Target: the thousands of small, independent vocational/trade schools in the US, most still running on spreadsheets, generic CRMs, and manual compliance paperwork. We manage the full student lifecycle — enrollment, attendance, accreditation and state compliance reporting, plus embedded tuition payments and financing (we take a cut of payment volume and financing). Wedge is compliance reporting: schools risk losing accreditation over paperwork errors, so it's a must-have, not a nice-to-have. Skilled-trades enrollment is booming as students turn away from four-year degrees and reshoring drives demand for welders, electricians, and HVAC techs. We accumulate benchmarking data across schools (completion rates, placement rates) that becomes more valuable as we grow. Founders previously ran a trade school. Distribution via state trade-school associations, accreditor networks, and industry conferences
