’Self-awareness is critical to retention’– Retention rates are affected by many things beyond control of

students, but self-awareness and engagement are controllable.

‘Social proof drives development, self-actualization’– Students are motivated by benchmarking and social

transparency

‘Alumni engaged with students’– Alumni that are engaged with students enriches all.

‘A good fit, first job is critical to avoiding quarter-life crisis’

peeqMe Mobile App

Innate Intention

Users have access through the peeqMe mobile app

peeqMe focuses on the natural preferences/strengths for individuals

Users can give and get input at the point of experience for review later with mentors, advisors, faculty, management.

peeqMe permits users to upload institutional behaviors/competencies, and values.

Enterprise systems do an excellent job of capturing “What” people did, but struggle to capture “How” people accomplish their work objectives.

peeqMe allows users to identify behaviors and values they intend to display.

peeqMe provides a simple profile based on the most popular assessments

Over $2B per year is spent on leadership, behavior, and personality assessments
