Afraid of public speaking, and measured her worth by her grades alone.
“It makes me believe I can achieve the impossible.”
Hesitant to reach out to anyone and put things off when stressed. His school counselor had missed important parts of his Brown application.
“The only way to break this fear was to just do it and seek rejections.”
Had lost his sense of purpose and felt his contributions went unnoticed. Burned out, overcommitted to people who drained him, and left his job with no plan for what came next.
Admitted to Harvard, and now pursuing her goal of becoming a Chinese pop star.
“I received tons of valuable feedback on my ideas. There was also a lot of mentorship.”
Didn’t believe she could get into a top school. Got into Penn and Wharton, the #1 business school in the world.
Shy and afraid to go after what she really wanted. Became a go-getter, got into Parsons, the #1 design school in the world, and scaled her business to $70,000 in a year.
Admitted to a top international university, and built a business generating $2,000 in revenue in one week.
From burned out and without direction to an AI engineering offer at Google in seven months.
Some students’ businesses took off, and they chose to keep building instead of going to college. We backed that decision too.
“I didn’t think she had a shot at an Ivy. They work weekends, holidays, even Thanksgiving. They didn’t just help with college admissions — they helped my daughter believe in herself. And that is priceless.”
Parent · daughter admitted to the University of Pennsylvania“The thing about Pegasus is that they actually care — like, more than a ‘business’ should. I remember being stressed out of my mind right before my work was due, and they were up with me until 3:00 AM. They wanted it to be perfect as much as I did. It felt like someone actually had my back. You know how sometimes you hire someone and they just wait for you to do the work? Not here. Pegasus was constantly on me — “you gotta do this, don’t forget that.” There were times they cared more about my progress than I did that day! They keep you moving when you’re tired, which is exactly what you need when you’re a senior with a million things going on. My biggest advice? Take every session they offer. It wasn’t just about the apps. It actually changed the way I speak and write in general. That kind of growth is honestly priceless.”

“I joined because I had an idea for a startup and needed momentum to start. Pegasus gave rough estimates for where I needed to be with my idea each week, encouraging me to push forward. I started out with nothing, but now have an MVP and $2k revenue coming out of the program. Still a far way to go, but it definitely helped me get some progress. Also found a cofounder and was able to connect with caring/inspiring mentors!”

“Working with Pegasus was great. They were quick to understand my needs and offer prompt help with my application. I’m super happy with how my letter turned out. It sounds authentic and real, and thanks to his help, I got in! 100% recommend this guy knows what’s up.”

“I joined Pegasus because I want to get hands-on experience starting a company. UC Berkeley taught me a lot of the theories, but Pegasus pushed me to try my ideas out, scrap it if it doesn’t work, and get customer feedback every step of the way.”

“Being at Pegasus was a life-changing experience, and I certainly would recommend Pegasus for anyone who wants to create a meaningful impact on the world one day but doesn’t know how or where to start. For me, getting started was one of the biggest barriers between me and entrepreneurship. Not knowing how or where to start, I joined Pegasus to gain knowledge and inspiration from a community of mentors and peers and I was able to actually launch my first business. By being in this community, I had the privilege to talk with extremely insightful mentors which really helped me learn more about myself and what I wanted. I also learned how to experiment, take risks, and grow from my experiments and mistakes.”

“I started working with Pegasus last year to help with my college essays, and honestly, without Pegasus, I don’t think I would’ve gotten anything done. Pegasus Education isn’t like those big tutoring companies where you’re just another student. It’s more like an exclusive program where every mentee gets insanely personalized treatment. You’re never just a number. You’re the main focus, and they work really hard to make sure your needs are heard and taken care of. The founder is kinda crazy — but in the best possible way. He checks in every two or three days to make sure you’re on track, and he’ll push you to get things done because he wants the best for you. I would highly recommend Pegasus.”
T.L. · New York University
“The greatest barrier for me to embark on an entrepreneurial path is the lack of like-minded teammates from a diverse background. At Pegasus, I met like-minded people with whom I could explore new ideas and even got my first 3 customers within a week!!!”
M.Z. · Tsinghua University
“Pegasus enabled me to broaden my entrepreneurial horizons and learn from some of the smartest people in the space.”
