EdVisorly Raises $13.3M to Automate College Transfer Workflows With AI

EdVisorly, a Los Angeles-based startup, raised a $13.3 million Series A to scale its AI-native platform for university admissions and transfer operations. The round was led by Breachway Capital, with participation from U.S. News & World Report, Lumina Foundation, Strada Education Foundation, Motley Fool Ventures, Juvo Ventures, Zeal Capital Partners and others. The new financing brings EdVisorly’s total funding to about $22 million, according to the company.

EdVisorly’s platform is built to remove slow, manual paperwork from admissions and transfer processes. CEO Manny Smith emphasized that the software does not decide which students get accepted and does not act as a gatekeeper. Instead, its EddyAI platform automates repetitive back-office tasks such as reading student transcripts and recalculating GPAs based on a university’s criteria.

EdVisorly targets a transfer process that can feel opaque for community college students trying to move to four-year universities. The platform lets applicants upload transcripts for an unofficial credit evaluation, matching courses against university requirements before they speak with an admissions counselor. On the university side, registrars can use the same technology to process official transfer credits and build credit-matching rules more quickly.

EdVisorly says it works with more than 100 colleges, universities and higher education systems, including Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Connecticut, the University of Massachusetts and California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. The company says it has helped more than 250,000 students since its inception and currently has nearly 50 employees. The Series A comes as education-related startup funding remains well below pandemic-era highs, though Crunchbase data cited in the article shows global edtech and education-related startups raised just under $1.8 billion in the first half of 2026.
