Company profile
researched Sep 2026Edifii develops a personalized digital school counseling platform for high school students, delivered as a mobile and web application used by students and counselors. Students begin with a short, research-backed discovery process — quizzes taking roughly five minutes — intended to surface their strengths, interests and personality traits, which the company models as a student-specific profile or "genome." The resulting insights feed into what the company calls "path charting": tailored recommendations of local opportunities, goals and step-by-step next actions oriented toward college and career outcomes.
The product is structured around four user roles. Students receive a digital mentor for goal setting and guidance; parents receive a guidance report card covering their teen's profile, local opportunities and early career exploration; counselors can view insights and trends across individual students or an entire caseload to support personalized recommendations and student wellness; and school leaders receive aggregate views intended to support student engagement, attendance and academic performance. The company positions the tool as continuously available guidance that also makes brief counselor-student interactions more productive.
