A data-driven guidance platform that replaces guesswork with foresight β in a labor market being reshaped faster than any generation has faced before.
The Problem
For most of the 20th century, education led to work, work led to stability, and stability led to upward mobility. That script has quietly broken.
We still ask teenagers to make decisions with six-figure financial consequences β based largely on anecdotes, rankings, and hope.
The guidance students receive has remained largely unchanged even as economic outcomes have deteriorated for decades. Small differences in early decisions have long produced uneven results, but those consequences were rarely made visible to students in advance.
The Solution
You can't make good decisions about a future you can't see. Launch Plan lets students step into plausible versions of their future selves and see how life unfolds under different choices.
Step into plausible versions of your future self and see how decisions compound over time.
College, major, career, location, finances β treated as one integrated system.
Data-grounded scenarios with probability ranges and uncertainty signals.
Why Launch Plan
Today, students piece together their future using disconnected tools. Launch Plan is the first platform that integrates search, exploration, and planning across all dimensions β building a solid foundation where education, major, and career form the base; finances and location provide the structure; and your life story emerges at the top.
Find colleges, majors, careers, and locations β all in one place with consistent data.
Understand how each choice affects the others. Major impacts career. Location impacts cost of living. Everything connects.
See the financial reality of different paths β not just rankings and reviews, but actual projected life outcomes.
Why Now
For the first time, a technology is transforming cognitive work β not just physical or routine tasks. The students entering adulthood over the next decade face a fundamentally different landscape.
Career half-lives are shrinking. Skills depreciate faster. Entire job categories may be reshaped within a single decade β sometimes within a few years.
AI tends to amplify top performers, compress middle tiers, and automate routine tasks. Two people with the same degree may experience radically different trajectories.
Mismatches between education and occupation, skills and demand, location and opportunity become harder to recover from. Detours are more expensive. Debt is less forgiving.
The problem is not that the future is unknowable. It's that we've never given students tools to reason about uncertainty at all.
The Framework
More than an app β a complete learning system that gives students a durable mental architecture.
The curriculum gives students the map. The simulations let them walk the terrain.
All financial decisions fall into seven interconnected systems that constantly interact and influence each other.
People move through recurring life patterns β often multiple times throughout their lives.
