Informed K12
Informed K12 is a workflow automation and digital forms platform built specifically for the operational complexity of K-12 school districts. It replaces paper and PDF forms with online workflows that route automatically through the real approval chains districts already use - across finance, HR, student services, and IT - capturing e-signatures and a time-stamped audit trail without replacing the ERP, HRIS, or SIS a district already runs. Founded in 2012 by two Stanford Graduate School of Education classmates, the company (formerly Chalk Schools) serves hundreds of districts and employs roughly 70-75 people.

The stated goal is to level the playing field in admissions and confront the rising cost of higher education.
