Our Story

Built by students, for students.

As two high school juniors, we've seen first-hand just how complex the college admissions process can be. We built Nektly to help simplify it.

Our Mission

Mentorship shouldn't be a privilege.

The college admissions process is complicated — and access to people who've been through it shouldn't depend on who you know. Nektly uses AI matching to connect every high school student with a college mentor who shares their interests, goals, and background, so every conversation actually moves the needle.
