Wayhaven Selected for EIF Catalyst Cohort

We’re proud to share that Wayhaven was selected as part of the Education Impact Fund’s (EIF) inaugural Catalyst cohort, a highly competitive program designed to support early-stage companies advancing education and workforce outcomes. EIF selected just five companies for this first cohort from a strong national applicant pool, and we’re honored to have been included alongside such thoughtful, mission-driven peers.

Over the past 12 weeks, we participated in the Catalyst program, engaging in focused work on strategy, impact, and long-term sustainability, while learning from EIF partners and advisors deeply embedded in the education ecosystem. As part of the cohort, Wayhaven received $250,000 in funding to support our continued development and research-informed approach to student well-being.

We’re grateful to Education Impact Fund and ECMC Group for their belief in our work and for creating a space that values rigor, impact, and long-term outcomes. We’re excited to carry these learnings forward as we continue building evidence-informed support for students navigating an increasingly complex educational landscape.
