Upkey

Fifteen years ago, Amir Badr had a chance encounter with someone who would ultimately become his mentor and forever change his life. As a foreigner, trying to navigate a bustling airport, his future success in America came through a random connection and a lucky encounter.

Upkey was founded so that such important life-changing experiences are not left to chance. During his time at a Fortune 500, he started a diversity and inclusion program that helped identify and address diversity gaps through innovative solutions. After researching and testing with real students, he launched Upkey with several public and private institutions in 2015.
