Brite Tech is a technology company based in Morgantown, WV that provides valuable student data insight to universities to promote student retention and identify student needs. This is accomplished through their proprietary app, where students engage with daily check-ins about their university experience in a gamified format. The app uses incentives such as streaks, competitions, and prizes from brands like Amazon and Starbucks to encourage engagement.

WVCAP funding is allowing Brite Tech to continue expanding their technology and operations in Morgantown. With several university collaborations already under their belt, the company anticipates continued growth, while the state of West Virginia benefits from student retention, skilled workforce development, and research innovation.

WVCAP provides West Virginia small businesses with debt or equity capital to expand and create jobs. WVCAP is designed to assist credit-worthy companies that may not fit traditional lending models. WVCAP is administered by WVJIT.
