The round was led by Potencia Ventures and LearnLaunch, with participation from industry luminaries including Jamie Farrell (founding COO of Trilogy Education) and Jonathan Finkelstein (founder of Credly).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unlike single-purpose AI resume tools, Prentus reimagines the entire career development journey. Its platform combines AI-powered tools, community features, and gamification to deliver the first solution that learners actually want to use \u2013 driving engagement rates three times higher than traditional career platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-117188\" src=\"https:\/\/evertise.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/9.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evertise.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/9.png 960w, https:\/\/evertise.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/9-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/evertise.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/9-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe are proud to back Prentus because they\u2019re not just streamlining career services \u2013 they are building the connective tissue between learning and earning,\u201d said Ana Aristizabal, Director and Head of Investments in Education and Workforce at Potencia Ventures. \u201cPrentus is unlocking faster pathways to employment, improving higher-education outcomes, and expanding access to hidden opportunities for all learners \u2013 not just the well-connected.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a market saturated with point solutions, Prentus stands out by addressing core challenges faced by both students and institutions. The platform replaces up to six disconnected tools with a unified system that transforms how career services departments operate. This innovative approach has already propelled Prentus to profitability ahead of this funding round \u2013 a rare milestone that highlights the market\u2019s unmet need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWhat set Prentus apart for us is their unique focus on the student experience and their deep understanding of their customers\u2019 needs,\u201d said LearnLaunch General Partner Matt Rubins. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to support Prentus in this next phase of growth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prentus\u2019s impact includes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students find jobs 54% faster than with traditional methods<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Graduates secure positions with a median starting salary of $70,000<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">75% of students continue actively using the platform after 30 days<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Career services teams operate three times more efficiently<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Major educational institutions like DeVry University and Miami Dade College have adopted Prentus across their student populations, signaling a shift away from fragmented career services technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWhen we looked for a platform that can serve the needs of modern learners and careers, we knew it had to offer an ecosystem of interconnected tools,\u201d said Richard Korczyk, Chief Experience Officer at DeVry University. \u201cPrentus offered that and also ensured that we kept our advising team firmly at the center of the experience so that technology and talented professionals could work together to help our graduates succeed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prentus was founded by Rod Danan, a first-generation immigrant who experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating career development without connections. His goal? Do for job searching what Duolingo did for language learning: make it approachable, engaging, and effective for everyone, not just those with privileged networks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The new investment will fuel Prentus\u2019s continued growth, enabling expansion of institutional partnerships, enhancement of its native AI capabilities with new interview and advising tools, and creation of direct employer pathways that break down barriers to opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>About Prentus<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prentus has created the first complete career success ecosystem that drives measurable improvements in job outcomes at scale.
