In 1938, Stanley Kaplan began tutoring students in the basement of his parents' Brooklyn home with a simple but powerful mission: to help children of immigrants advance their dream of going to college. What started as a modest tutoring operation born from a recognition that standardized tests were gatekeepers to educational opportunity would grow into one of the world's largest and most diverse education organizations. Stanley's insight that preparation could level the playing field transformed how millions approach educational and professional advancement. Today, Kaplan stands as a premier global provider of educational services, operating in more than 30 countries and serving over one million students annually. The company has pioneered new territory in test preparation, online higher education, K-12 services, and professional training with innovation and imagination at its core. As a subsidiary of Graham Holdings Company, Kaplan continues to evolve while remaining true to its founding principle: that education transforms lives. From test prep for 90+ standardized exams to financial education, language learning, and university pathway programs, Kaplan helps people achieve their educational and career goals at every stage of their journey.

In 2015, Plum Lending was founded with a revolutionary vision: to transform commercial real estate lending by combining data science with traditional financial expertise. The founders recognized that the CRE lending industry was ripe for modernization - traditional processes were inefficient, opaque, and failed to leverage the power of data analytics. They built Plum as a more agile and advisory financial technology company that could provide intelligent, reliable funding options while establishing the industry's most efficient and optimal process for borrowers. Today, Plum has evolved beyond being just a lender. The company now builds AI-powered software that helps lending teams and brokers scale their operations infinitely. Their flagship product, Plum Infinity, reactivates prospects, streamlines workflows, and automates personalized outreach without sacrificing the human touch. Headquartered in San Francisco with a distributed team across the U.S., Plum serves the fastest-growing yet most underserved markets in commercial real estate. They focus on everything from core and value-add properties to construction and 1031 exchanges, offering both direct lending and correspondent relationships across the full capital stack. For Plum, it's not just about closing transactions - it's about building long-term wealth strategies and investing in the future of communities.
