How are we doing so far?
Dreambridge.ai so farBack in May 2025, I set a simple but ambitious goal with Dreambridge.ai: help at least 5,000 students in our first year. We’re on track — and the best part is seeing how it’s actually working. 1) Through content, we’ve shared stories of Pakistanis and other professionals in the U.S., and those stories have already led to job referrals, hires, and millions of aspiring students reached. 2) Through webinars, we’ve brought together over 1,000 students to learn directly from peers who’ve been in their shoes. And this weekend, we’re hosting two more (details below). On a personal note, I’m also growing the team — if you’re a video editor, reply with your best work and why you’d be a fit.Saturday Webinar: How to Stand Out in U.S. College Applications – Insights from Dartmouth📅 Saturday, September 13🕘 10:00 AM EST / 7:00 PM PKT📍 Live on Google Meet (RSVP here)Getting to the US is one thing, but getting into a US Ivy League university is a different ball game altogether.
