Cause of death: the autopsy

A large scholarship group's white-label platform is free, with no platform or transaction fees, and another national fund lets schools skip forming their own organization at all. At least 4 more vendors launched in 2026. Treasury expects only 600-700 such organizations by 2030. Survive score: 1 out of 10.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The free platforms raise prices or stop taking partners.
