omviser is an all-in-one online solution for personalized mentorship needs in higher education admission. Our platform provides the opportunity for students to find a personal mentor who believe in their potential and who can help them easily maneuver through college and graduate school applications with a professional touch. Our founders who are a group of learning enthusiasts, researchers, and change makers spent hours developing and designing the optimal mentoring platform for students. Here’s how: Initially, as learning enthusiasts from the global south we started thinking how impactful could mentoring be for all students if there was no geographical boundaries. We traced the history of successful people and learned the benefits of mentorship those people had in determining their success. We also debated on what we thought were some of the immediate factors that prevented students from obtaining a mentor. We found that privilege (legacy, wealth distribution, birthstamp etc), difficulty in initiating connections, lack of trust in new mentor-mentee relationships, inability to afford expensive mentoring services, and other cultural or geographical barriers are some of the immediate hurdles in leveraging such opportunities. So, we sought out to find solutions to help minimize this gap and design a platform that provides conversion of different forms of capital in one’s life. 1. symbolic (accumulation of honor and prestige), 2. cultural (knowledge, competencies, and credentials), 3. social (social networks that one employs to improve social standing), and 4. economic (wealth or monetary awards). We believe that as a global community, everyone should have equal access to education and mentorship irrespective of their backgrounds. We are doing our part in finding like-minded people who are interested in becoming a part of our students’ journey and help each other achieve by acts of giving and sharing. Please come Join Us.
