Braden Weissman is the Co-Founder of Nerd Apply, an EdTech platform that recently raised $3. 2 million to provide data-driven college counseling. A graduate of the University of Michigan and a certified EMT, his career reflects a unique blend of entrepreneurship, technology, and healthcare experience, having founded multiple ventures before launching his current company.

Outside of his entrepreneurial pursuits, Braden has a background steeped in athletics and medicine. In high school, he was a triple-sport varsity captain and was named the Arizona Male Athlete of the Year. His initial passion for medicine led him to work as a research assistant in cellular biology and bladder cancer labs.

Interesting fact: Braden left medical school to go all-in on building Nerd Apply, a decision he and his brother made after taking on $20, 000 in credit card debt.
