Our Story
Develup was first a thought in a dorm room, a conversation between two friends who had navigated their own challenges in the transition to college. Frustrated by the misleading information and lack of guidance available to high school students, they saw an opportunity to make a difference. Determined to bridge the gap, they set out to create a resource that would empower future college students with the knowledge, tools, and support they wished they had.
After months of dedicated work, they decided to launch Develup, a transparent, affordable, and cohesive college preparation company designed for incoming college freshmen. Develup offers more than just a head start; it equips students with the tools and support they need to succeed from day one on campus.
