The world isn't ready to educate the next generation of students pursuing higher education. Over the next 10 years, we expect to add at least 25,000 students per day to the higher ed population on a global scale. Put differently, we would need to create the equivalent of 1.8 new University of California, Berkeleys (go Bears) or 1 new Harvard per day to keep up! Today the best colleges and universities are disproportionately concentrated in North America, but most of the postsecondary enrollment growth is happening elsewhere. How do we keep up with the demand? There are so many qualified education organizations out there offering rigorous programs that are deserving of, but lacking, the same level of recognition as the more established name-brand institutions that readily come to mind. The whys are numerous, but one underlying reason is that accreditation is complicated and expensive. Accreditation is higher ed's equivalent of a pre-Musk Era blue check mark, and it is core to the $2T industry—so much so that in US and UK colleges, the number of full-time administrative roles, many of whom are hired to maintain compliance, often outnumbers the number of actual educators. Last year, Yale's administrative staff not only outnumbered faculty, but also undergrads. Guess who ends up paying for that? (S/O to student loans.) At Woolf, we're on a mission to increase access to world-class higher education and ensure that it is globally recognized and transferrable. We're building the university of the future by helping colleges around the world get accredited. The launch of our latest product, Airlock, was motivated by our belief that updates to the arcane accreditation pathway are long overdue—and somebody needs to do something about it. Airlock is the world's first API for academic accreditation. Higher ed organizations and bootcamps can plug their custom learning environments into the Woolf platform by API to accredit their programs 1) at a fraction of the cost and 2) in a matter of weeks, not years. The tomorrow that the next generation of students will inhabit is rapidly evolving, and we owe it to those who keep higher ed's purpose alive to match their pace of innovation. It's time to digitize a physical and historically bureaucratic process: Introducing Airlock.

Anyone in education wonder how accreditation can happen by API? Yes, a complex education process can be easy when it's designed that way. Please take a look.
