Ideation
Serial EdTech entrepreneur and our founder, Jordan Levy, has been committed to expanding experiential learning within the higher education ecosystem since he graduated from Lehigh in 2014. CapSource with birthed as a way to provide administration and faculty with more flexibility and customizability when it came to integrating companies directly into the curriculum through hands-on collaborations.

Testing the Model with Early Adopters
Educators are an innovative bunch! CapSource’s first client, Fordham University, needed help sourcing companies and designing projects for their MBA Capstone course. Throughout that engagement, CapSource learned more about the process of integrating companies into the curriculum through experiential learning collaborations.

Defined Engagement Formats & Launched Platform
Throughout 2018, CapSource focused on positioning the company for growth. Since launching, we have reached 13 schools and over 1,000 students leveraging 42 company partners. CapSource decided to concretely define (and productize) the experiential learning formats we were implementing into four categories: Live Business Cases, Capstone Projects, Co-Ops, and Site Visits. This made the process of matchmaking much easier and much more plug-and-play for both companies and educators interested in engaging with each other through experiential learning.
CapSource also introduced V1 of their new platform, which is an ecosystem that makes the process of finding companies and designing projects with real host companies easier for educators than ever before.

Refining & Scaling
Our team is growing and things are getting exciting! CapSource’s goal for 2019 is to scale the business with repeat customers while refining our process and products in order to ensure even better outcomes for all parties involved. We also plan to invest into building out new features for our various stakeholders on our software platform in order to enhance the matchmaking process. We also look forward to adding many new host company and universities partners to our network!

Online Marketplace Connecting Higher-Ed with Industry Partners
We want to bridge the skills gap between higher-ed and the professional work environment by making experiential learning easy. Our mission is to make highly engaging learning experiences more attainable for students and educators while making it more scalable for institutions and companies than ever before. CapSource adds a crucial layer as an intermediary between higher-ed and industry, focusing on instructional design and productizing and standardizing different parts of the experiential learning process like customizable engagement formats and project scopes.
We strongly believe students need several opportunities throughout any degree program to put their knowledge and skills to work. We’re excited to make project-based experiential learning with real companies more accessible and effective through our platform with the help of innovative faculty and companies. We’re excited about the future and we hope you’re interested in joining us for the journey!

Testimonials

I appreciate all your help and the help of the CapSource team.

I appreciate all your help and the help of the CapSource team.

You did a masterful job of going from the big picture on adidas’ 3 strategic pillars through to your product innovations, digital strategies, influencer partnerships and grassroots efforts. I think the students have a far better sense of how challenging and exciting your work is and I know we’ll have great ideas for this project based on the time you provided today.

I never used to have a summer as it was spent sourcing companies for projects and sorting out all the details in Excel. This platform has given me an environment to do everything I used to do manually. It has truly been a blessing!

During this Live Case collaboration, the Fashion Merchandising students of LIU, provided a lot of great information for us that usually takes so long to gather. I look forward to seeing the HERVE launch come to life. Our team is using influencers and strategies that the students suggested, so I hope all the students feel part of it! Our team has gleamed so much from this experience!

To Melissa and the whole team at Centric Brands, thank you for your generosity, time, effort and letting us into your space! Thank you for believing us and the students, and giving us such an incredible responsibility of working on the HERVE brand launch. This was real life – not just a made up project. The students truly gave it their all to deliver the best results to your team!

The student work on the Centric Brands HERVE project was tremendous. This was a real challenge, with a real brand. The students had a chance to apply what they’re learning in the classroom to something that was completely real-world and relevant.

I just want to thank Jordan and the CapSource team, Phyllis and IACBE, and the team Ronald McDonald House at Jacksonville for giving our students an opportunity to participate in experiential learning opportunity, and to provide feedback about how to take the classroom to a real-world issue and context. On behalf of Excelsior College, very appreciative of your time, expertise, and leadership. Beyond that, this provided a chance for our online students to engage with one another and with our instructional faculty in a different way. Very, very appreciative. Great learning opportunity! Great job by Ever Upward team too.

The Spring 2020 Coinsource Live Case competition far exceeded our expectations. The student’s ingenuity and dedication to producing high-quality solutions was truly impressive, despite the constraints of a virtual environment. The feedback derived regarding our business model and strategy from this next generation of business leaders was informative and valuable to Coinsource as we continue to grow and innovate. We are excited to move forward with the winning undergraduate team Oregon Tech as members of the Coinsource team!

The students demonstrated impressive creativity and thoroughness in their final reports that will prove as valuable insights for DoorDash. We had a great experience and were proud to be able to engage so many students at the same time in such a meaningful way with the help of CapSource.

Experiential learning is especially critical for business programs since blending theory and practice allows the students to build their confidence as they prepare for their professional careers. CapSource provides us with access to companies we would otherwise not be able to work with. They make it easy to identify the right organizations for every course given the overall structure, desired rigor, and teaching objectives.

Great presentations today from Notre Dame MBA students! Great experience all around and we are so excited about expanding on these ideas. Most of all, thank you for all you have done and the difference you have made.

The students did a fantastic job of not only completing the prescribed tasks, but also in providing inferences that I use to create desired business outcomes for Crayon at a global level.

We had our kickoff meeting tonight on our “project” with Adelphi Graduate Class. I was very favorable impressed with the questions and energy levels from everyone.

I first learned of CapSource when one my colleagues highly recommended them. They have been incredible collaborators when Ramapo College hosted groups of business students (both graduate and undergraduate) from overseas universities. He masterfully crafted a panel of entrepreneurs, start-up experts and companies from his expansive network. The international students gained insights into the business environment in the metro-NYC area, as well as sharing ideas, posing critical questions and brainstorming solutions within this inter-cultural group of individuals. Ramapo College will continue to work with Jordan and CapSource and highly recommend any higher education institution to collaborate with them as well.

Even as a non-profit, we wrestle with complex strategic questions when it comes to running and scaling our operations. The students added capacity to our team and brought a new and fresh perspective to a critical research project. I believe that the students appreciated the challenge and learned a lot through the project. We’re excited to see that they are learning and growing as much as we are benefiting from their insights, which was our main objective for this engagement.
