The college admission system is far from perfect, but Troove is on a mission to ensure that the system works in favor of its participants. Tune in to episode 178 as David breaks down what propelled him into wanting to address this problem, reveals some shocking numbers and statistics around the college graduation rate and much more!

Dave has lived and worked around the world, and is now based in Burlington Vermont with his wife and two Golden Retrievers. Their 3 “kids” have now graduated from college, but it was his experience with them on their college journeys that started his innovator's brain cranking on what became Troove. Having worked in admissions through grad school, he was amazed by how little technology and the internet had impacted the college search and admissions process. And even more, he was dismayed to discover how often students were transferring or dropping out altogether. In early 2020, this led directly to his founding Troove, a 2-sided, AI powered platform to help students discover their passions, people, and place based on the real experiences of recent alumni and current higher education students.Dave Hurwitt is an innovator. Over the course of his career, he's led the development and launch of new products and services – from toothpicks to wind turbines – that have generated well over $1 billion in sales. If you have a large, front loading washing machine in your house, that was Dave and his team at Whirlpool. They re-envisioned the traditional, small European washer for the US market and took front loaders from 1% of the market to over 50% today, saving billions of dollars in electricity and water consumption in the process.Websitewww.troove.meSocial Media InformationInstagram: www.instagram.com/troove.me/Facebook: www.facebook.com/www.troove.meLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/trooveme/YouTube: www.youtube.com/@trooveitShow Sponsor – National Association for Primary Education (NAPE) https://nape.org.uk/SEND Conference Friday 26th April – Hybrid eventLondon School of Public Relations – www.lspr-education.com/podcasting-course/Delivered by Mark Taylor.The 1-day Essentials of Podcasting Certificated short course is highly practical and packed full of useful information to get you on the road to producing your own professional podcasts.

With decreased students and the shift to digital administration of standardized tests, colleges face significant challenges in the coming years.Dave emphasized the high costs associated with student acquisition and the ineffectiveness of traditional marketing tactics.

David Hurwitt lives in Burlington, Vermont, and is a married father of 3. And, those kids hav already grown and flown, per Dave's words. Their journey out of the nest into college was a driver behind starting his current venture. Outside of current venture, he is an avid photographer and really enjoys taking pictures, but ensuring there is people in them - cause, he states it's just better that way.Dave spent some time in college admissions in the past. And, as his kids grew up, he started to look into the process again. He found that when visiting a school in person, there wasn't solution that utilized preferences of the graduates, helping them identify patterns to help match them to their perfect school.This is the creation story of Troove.SponsorsCipherstashTreblleCAST AI FireflyTursoMemberstackLinksWebsite: https://www.troove.me/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davehurwittSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Dave Hurwitt is an innovator. Over the course of his career, he's led the development and launch of new products and services – from toothpicks to wind turbines – that have generated well over $1 billion in sales. Having worked in admissions through grad school, he was amazed by how little technology and the internet had impacted the college search and admissions process. And even more, he was dismayed to discover how often students were transferring or dropping out altogether. In early 2020, this led directly to his founding Troove, a 2-sided, AI-powered platform to help students discover their passions, people, and place based on the real experiences of recent alumni and current higher education students.This episode is brought to you by AILeader.info, where you can learn all about AI specifically in a place designed for educators through 3-minute masterclasses.  How Troove works Take the idea of suggestions from Netflix or Amazon and apply it to college. 15-minute quiz, how do you ask the right questions to get the answers that make sense of the patterns? At any school, there is an in and out of the classroom experience and culture. Less self-awareness. Finding experts who can explain psychological safety. Keep layering in more and more data. Social culture preferences and learning culture preferences. Doesn't have to be complete to start. Continue to explore the good stuff. Open to sharing data and information about yourself. Willingness to share and age are tightly correlated. How can we make that sharing of information safer, data safe, and help them see themselves more clearly? Incomplete information about schools without complete information. Making informed decisions about their future. Is this too complicated? Start taking steps - the request: go explore new technologies that might be useful that we can afford to trial. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Just get started.

The whole college admissions process is frustrating from both sides. Students rely on the school mailers they're inundated with beginning their second or third year of high school. And schools buy student lists and “spray and pray” them with mailers. There's no real science behind it and, as a result, students end up transferring or leaving their college after a semester or two (if they opt to go at all) and colleges are constantly looking for new students to fill seats and meet revenue quotas.   Not only that but students of privilege tend to get better access to college planning resources, leaving a big gap in those who end up with a good fit college vs. those who don't.   David Hurwitt is on a mission to change this. By leveraging research from the dating app eHarmony, he's created a free tool where students can match with a good-fit college. This creates better student successes as well as better results for the colleges and universities that provide data and feedback to the system.   Not every student is meant to go to college, and that's okay. But giving more students access to resources that allow them to forge their own paths is essential. This is a step in the right direction.    Listen in to hear more.    About David Hurwitt:   Dave Hurwitt is an innovator.

Selecting a college is undoubtedly one of the most crucial decisions young individuals will make in their lives. Given the multitude of available options, narrowing down choices and making the right decision can be challenging. Therefore, it is essential to make an informed choice. During the college selection process, allocate time for thorough research. Visit campuses, talk to current students and faculty, and gain a better understanding of the school. Seek advice and assistance from a college counselor or advisor to help with the process. Technology can also be a valuable asset in choosing a college. AI and data science can match students with schools that provide the best academic and social environments for them. In conclusion, selecting a college is a personal decision that requires careful consideration of multiple factors. By diligently researching and weighing their options, students can make the best decision for their future.  www.thedadedge.com/423 www.troove.me

Dave says there is no such thing as “the best university”--only the “best university” FOR YOU.  You have to finish that sentence!  Dave's own story illustrates this. He began as a political science major at Georgetown in Washington, D.C., paired with an internship on the Hill with his hometown district congressman. Seemed like the perfect place to be for a political science major–but it wasn't the right fit FOR HIM.  Join us as Dave describes his undergraduate experience transferring to a school that was a better fit for him, despite what others thought about his choice, to his graduate work in Business at Northwestern, to his interesting career in product development at major corporations, where he worked on products we know like Totinos Pizza and Whirlpool washing machines.  His experience all ties together as he decided to start his own company, Troove, serving students in helping find the best college fit for them.  You can check out Troove for yourself at www.troove.me
