Dr. Shirag Shemmassian founded Shemmassian Academic Consulting to provide students with professional academic counseling.

After years of providing his expertise for free, Shirag started charging for his services when he founded this consultancy in December 2013. Shirag charged his first paying customer $1,200. He had to edit 60-80 essays and spent countless hours helping the student, so his hourly rate worked out to be very low.

His proficiency is in advising students especially medical school applicants on which schools to apply to. Over time, this company has been able to generate $650k in revenue in a single year.
