Abre, the most prominent modern data solution for K–12 that supports the values that have made it a reliable partner for educational institutions across the country, recently announced a significant milestone with the closing of a Series A investment round led by PeakSpan Capital, with follow-on participation from JumpStart Ventures, JobsOhio Growth Capital Fund, and Golden Angels Investors. This latest funding will support the company’s mission to open learning communities by connecting what matters.
Abre serves as a one-stop shop that integrates data from hundreds of EdTech platforms across a school district. These data points are integrated to paint a 360-degree view of a student across key areas of social-emotional well-being, enrollment, attendance, intervention, academic performance, and more without requiring a huge amount of effort from administrators or building staff. The company’s commitment to streamlining processes, enhancing collaboration, and improving student outcomes has garnered widespread recognition and adoption among school districts nationwide.
Speaking on the fundraising, CEO of Abre, James Stoffer, said:
We are thrilled to have the confidence of such a distinguished group of investors at PeakSpan Capital and the ongoing support from many of our early investors. This investment validates our vision and strategy and provides us with the resources needed to accelerate our growth and deliver impactful solutions to our school and district clients as well as their administrators and staff, community partners, families, and students.
With this financing, the company will continue to innovate Abre’s data solution, a unique blend of personalized services tailored to each district partner’s specific needs and cutting-edge technology designed to enhance data intelligence for all stakeholders supporting students both inside and outside the classroom. It will also utilize the funds to broaden its market reach, fortify its team across crucial departments, and seize emerging opportunities in the EdTech sector.
Sanket Merchant, Partner at PeakSpan Capital and Head of the firm’s EdTech practice, led the investment and will join the Abre Board of Directors. He stated:
Abre sits squarely in a thesis we’ve been developing for years and highlights the importance (and opportunity) behind data intelligence. Districts nationwide need help operationalizing student data and effectively providing students with academic, emotional, and community support. The data is alarming, and we must do much more to transform student outcomes fundamentally. We could not be more thrilled to partner with the Abre team to capitalize on the forward opportunity – democratizing data intelligence, transforming student outcomes, and creating what we believe will be the central hub for the modern U.S. K-12 district.
