Start-up w $1.8 mil seed funding taking on college admissions consultants.

Maybe this service could be of use to some students, but I’m skeptical. First of all, just because you got in doesn’t mean that your essay was any good. Second, even assuming that you’re seeing terrific models, that doesn’t mean you can derive principles from those essays and apply them to your own work. This is not going to replace admissions consultants.
