Since 2015, more than 70 colleges, universities, and skills-based training providers have partnered with Vemo Education to reach their strategic goals. Why? Vemo’s team of experts develops targeted financial and analytics solutions driven by real data. When schools align their tuition with career outcomes, they strengthen their financial health, improve affordability, and drive student success.

OUR MISSION

Helping schools help students

At Vemo Education, we share a clear purpose: helping schools help students. We work with school partners to build income-based financing programs and analytics solutions that empower more students to succeed. We believe everyone has the right to an affordable education. We believe schools can promote education access and affordability, without sacrificing their own financial health. When schools measure themselves by student success, they prove the cost of education is worth it.

OUR HISTORY

From 2015 to today

In 2015, Vemo Education co-founders Tonio DeSorrento, Jeff Weinstein, Renee Mang, and Bill Brosseau came together with a vision. They wanted to build school-based, pay-for-success income share agreement (ISA) programs that were designed, deployed, and serviced under one roof. Other companies had tried ISA programs before. But none had been successful. Vemo Education reimagined the ISA model, with the relationship between schools and students at the center. Purdue University, Vemo Education’s first partner, made history when it launched Back a Boiler and told students: Our success depends on your success. Since then, more than 70 other institutions have joined Vemo Education to stand behind their students and their value.

OUR VISION

Where we’re headed

Vemo Education believes in a future where all schools stand behind their outcomes, and where all students have the tools they need to afford a college education. At Vemo, we work toward that future every day by building forward-looking programs, thoughtful analytics tools, and relationships that center student success.

Vemo Mission
When colleges launch ISA programs, they aren’t just adding one more product to their menu of financial offerings. When colleges offer ISAs, they experience real change. Students and parents respond. Schools learn about their students’ needs and preferences. They learn about outcomes. They learn smarter ways to attract students and communicate value. All of that helps Vemo make a greater impact at a school. CTA Button Text
