Laikan
Scale your impact,
your academic and career counselor assistant
Laikan acts as an always-on assistant to your counseling team, guiding students weekly as if you were with them personally, while staying fully transparent to you. Every student gets a structured path, and your team gets cohort-wide visibility into where they're headed.
No integration, no training, no IT project. Live in a day.
We know how hard it is.
Academic counseling and career guidance don't always talk to each other
At most schools, academic counseling and career or college counseling sit with different people, on different timelines. What one team learns about a student doesn't always reach the other, so by the time the college and career conversation starts, some of what the school already knows has to be rediscovered.
And when a student's direction doesn't quite match where they've landed, redirecting them without making them feel dismissed is one of the hardest parts of the work, especially across a full caseload, where some of those conversations don't get the follow-through they deserve.
Built by a team from the Milestone Institute, McKinsey, and Morgan Stanley, with a track record of getting students into the world's best universities.
