What Uni Dream does

Uni Dream (Uni-D) is a Hong Kong-headquartered EdTech company founded in 2022 by Tina Wu (CEO) and Angela Ng (Academic Lead & Partner) that provides an integrated education technology platform combined with personalized admissions counseling and career exploration services for secondary school students and parents across Asia. Its core product, the Uni-D One-Stop Education Technology Platform (officially launched June 7, 2024), comprises five modules — Passion Finder (career/major exploration across ~100 professional directions), ECA Finder (extracurricular activity planning for grades 7-12), Interactive Uni Map (data on 160+ universities globally), Skills Assessment Diagnoses (writing and mock interview evaluation), and Find Educator (expert consultation network) — supplemented by Dovie, an NLP-based AI admissions counselor trained on successful UCAS personal statements for the new 2026 format. The company also delivers One-on-One Counseling services, industry-led Career Exploration Programs (Business with AWS, Law with law firms, Medicine with day surgery centers/clinics), and Academic Exchange & Study Tours focused on Hong Kong.

Uni-D monetizes through a hybrid model: a freemium self-serve platform accessible at student.uni-dream.co, school licensing subscriptions for institutional access, paid one-on-one admissions counseling, and fee-based experiential career programs. Customer-acclaimed outcomes include a 91% offer rate at QS Top 30 universities for 1-on-1 counseling students and a 4.9/5.0 average rating for Career Exploration Programs, with 491+ students guided cumulatively. The company is an incubated enterprise of Hong Kong Science Park and maintains an additional office in London. Strategic partnerships span AsiaPay (payments), AWS, professional law firms, medical clinics, and adopting schools such as the Spanish School of Hong Kong (the platform's first school client). Plans include expansion into Mainland China and broader AI-driven personalization built on accumulated student data.
