Will Geiger
Will Geiger is the cofounder and CEO of Scholarships360, a free platform that helps students find and win scholarships to pay for college. A first-generation college graduate himself, he spent nearly a decade inside the admissions machine - reading more than 10,000 applications as a Senior Assistant Director of Admissions at Kenyon College, running its merit scholarship program, and counseling teenagers through the college maze at Hopkins School - before teaming up with his brother Brian to rebuild the broken scholarship search from scratch. Scholarships360 raised a $250,000 seed round in 2021 and now reaches students nationwide with vetted scholarships and personalized financial aid guidance.
Alfredo Brillembourg
Alfredo Brillembourg is the cofounder and CEO of Meadow, a New York fintech rebuilding how American students pay for college. After a missed tuition deadline locked him out of registration as an undergraduate, he traded a finance track that ran through Goldman Sachs, Bowery Capital, and NEA for the unglamorous plumbing of campus billing. Meadow now serves over 170 colleges and universities, has delivered nearly a million net-price estimates, and raised a $14M Series A led by Matrix Partners in 2025.
