About ShareWithU
ShareWithU (SWU), founded in 2009, operated as an online education and social platform tailored for Chinese students seeking overseas educational and career opportunities. The company's core business was providing educational consultation, leveraging a community-driven model where past students shared their experiences to guide prospective applicants. Its platform facilitated study and career planning services, aiming to give Chinese students better access to global education markets. SWU's business model integrated a large, member-run online community with a structured system of both online and offline educational services. The client base primarily consisted of Chinese students aspiring to enroll in undergraduate, graduate, and MBA programs abroad.

The company's revenue-generating activities included personalized educational services and organizing offline events such as professional visits to companies like Google and Citibank, university tours, and cultural exchanges for its members. This hybrid online-offline model was a key aspect of its strategy, creating a comprehensive support system for its users. The firm secured Series A funding of $2 million in September 2010 and later a Series B round in February 2012, indicating initial investor confidence in its approach to the EdTech market. Headquartered in Beijing, SWU had expanded its physical presence with offices in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and San Francisco. According to available data, ShareWithU ceased operations around September 2018.
