SchooLinks
SchooLinks is an Austin-based edtech company that builds an all-in-one college and career readiness (CCR) platform for K-12 school districts. It replaces the patchwork of separate counseling, course-planning, career-exploration, work-based-learning and compliance tools with a single student-first system, using behavioral data and machine learning to personalize each student's postsecondary path while giving administrators the accountability and state-reporting tools they need. Founded by Katie Fang in 2015, the company operates across 40 states and raised an $80 million Series B in October 2024 - the largest U.S. edtech deal of that year.
