GradTrain, a Jerusalem, Israel-based curated marketplace for studying abroad, closed a $500k seed financing round.
The round was led by private investors.
The company will use the funds to scale its global platform.

Based on big-data analytics, its admissions predictor leverages machine learning to assess prospective students’ chances of acceptance to hundreds of US universities and provides suggestions on which schools are right for the students.
