Cloud IX is a large language model empowering survivors of campus sexual violence to report. Addressing the 1 in 4 college students that have experienced sexual violence and the 1 in 3 survivors that drop out, our app features Sky, a trauma-informed therapy AI trained on each school’s policies for personalized guidance throughout the healing process. Cloud IX aims to fill a Title IX edtech gap as not just an app, but as a social catalyst - helping universities exceed compliance, improve student retention, and create safer, more supportive communities.
Why Startup Team Mentoring? "Cloud IX is seeking mentorship to navigate early stage company structuring, including scaling operations, refining our go-to-market strategy, and building strategic partnerships with universities. Specifically, we need guidance on sales cycle acceleration within higher education, effective storytelling to secure additional funding, and preparing for VCs and investment. We're honored to be mentored by industry professionals with experience in these fields; B2B SaaS, enterprise sales, and capital raising, allowing us to optimize our approach and establish long-term sustainability. Jonathan Rich, Dan Engel, Jeffrey Eckerling, Kim Tuleu, and Jennifer Jeansonne are not only incredible mentors, but professionals with interest in care in Cloud IX's mission. Thus far, they've accelerated the work completed under the innovation institute, and helped Cloud IX to reach more survivors across national college campuses."
