Mark Balneger: Sales Development
UpperClass is a student-first, creator-powered marketplace that helps Universities and Brands build, manage, and scale Student Creator programs. By 2026, the traditional "Student Ambassador" model is dead. UpperClass replaces it with a professionalized Student Creator ecosystem. We enable institutions to transform their student body into
an authentic media force that drives recruitment, stabilizes enrollment, and shares real-time campus experiences that resonate with prospective GenZ applicants.
For Universities: UpperClass provides a scalable "Content-as-a-Service" layer. Move beyond brochures and agents. Activate student voices to solve the "Authenticity Gap" in higher education marketing.
For Brands: UpperClass offers a high-trust entry point into the campus community. Reach GenZ through verified creators who hold real influence in their dorms, classrooms, and local ecosystems.
For Students: UpperClass is a career-launchpad. We provide the tools for students to monetize their influence, manage NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) opportunities, and build a creative portfolio that is verified by their own University.
