About Meritly
We're on a mission to help ambitious high school students build their futures with clarity, confidence, and a personalized roadmap.
Our Story
Meritly was founded by Jack Bailey and Will Bassett, two former high school students who experienced firsthand the confusion and uncertainty that comes with building a college and career profile. They realized that most students are left to figure it out alone—without a clear system, without guidance, and without a way to track their progress.
After struggling through their own journeys, Jack and Will decided to build something better. They spent months researching what high school students actually need, talking to admissions counselors, career coaches, and hundreds of students. The result? Meritly—an AI-powered platform that gives students a clear, personalized roadmap and the tools to execute it.
Today, thousands of ambitious students use Meritly to build stronger profiles, stay motivated, and achieve their goals. We're just getting started.
