We are a mission-driven startup EdTech consulting firm specializing in K‑12 software solutions—delivering full‑stack development, UX/UI, go‑to‑market strategy, and data analytics tailored to education systems like SIS and LMS platforms.

• Translate complex data into clear, actionable recommendations

Quality Assurance & Compliance

• Adhere to ethical standards and regulatory requirements relevant to K-12 education data

Qualifications:
