About Rocket

We build modern tech in a typically antiquated market. We are a profitable SaaS company with 450+ clients – mostly high schools and colleges. Most of our 7 person team graduated from Brown University in 2021 with backgrounds in computer science. Since then, we have grown the team with world class talent in engineering, creative design, marketing, customer success, and sales.

What We Do

Rocket Alumni Solutions makes web-based touchscreen software. We make it all “Just Work” and allow schools to upload massive amounts of media. We make all that media look pretty and organized. We then enable schools to engage alumni & donors with this information. We simplify the process of delivering museum quality web-based touchscreen displays and allow schools to engage alumni at scale.

What We’ve Built

We push the boundaries of web development to make the highly complex seem simple. Everything we build works on all devices as a website: touchscreens, phones, laptops, tablets, any device connected to the internet. Everything is insanely optimized.
