Starfish Retention Solutions is a provider of web-driven student success systems. Starfish draws information from course management, portal and student information systems to help identify at-risk students in real time. The Company’s system enables instructors and advisors to communicate any concerns they have about a student’s performance, and connect those students to the support resources they need. Starfish is headquartered in Arlington, VA, and was founded in 2007.

In February 2015, Hobsons announced the acquisition of Starfish Retention Solutions. The Starfish Enterprise Success Platform will augment Hobsons’ existing advising and admissions tools, creating a unique portfolio of student support from grade school through graduate school.
