WHY HAVANA
Why Choose Havana Over Collegevine
Educational institutions face mounting pressure to meet enrollment targets while handling thousands of inquiries. Solutions like Collegevine, while complex, are not fully focused on tackling the admissions and enrollment teams' problems. Havana's AI-powered student recruiter transforms your recruitment process by qualifying leads based on your specific criteria, engaging prospects 24/7, and seamlessly reviving dormant leads from your existing database. Unlike Collegevine, Havana does not build AI agents for all use cases under the sun. Our platform is laser-focused on improving your enrollment numbers rates while reducing your advisor's workload.

TESTIMONIALS
Don’t just take our word for it
"The results have been pretty incredible. Usually our teams are skeptical of tech, but for Havana, different teams were fighting to be the first to get it."
Bryan Palmer, Chief Commercial Officer EMENA, Global University Systems
"Within 2 months, we got conversions. The AI got students who had abandoned their applications to start talking again. It ended up converting leads we had given up on."
Pia Horner, Assoc Director & Head of Student Recruitment, University of Europe for Applied Sciences
"We sometimes receive 1000s of leads from student fairs. It's hard for us to follow-up with all of them quickly, but Havana's AI increases our speed-to-lead dramatically, boosting conversion rates."
Director of Student Recruitment, Top-50 Business School
