Fusion Academy
Fusion Academy built a national private-school network around an expensive, deceptively simple promise: one student, one teacher, one class at a time. The result is school recast as a bespoke service - flexible enough for a teenager's life, and intimate enough for a teacher to notice when the lesson is not landing.
Parallel
Parallel (Parallel Learning) is a New York-based special education company that connects school districts with licensed clinicians - school psychologists, speech-language pathologists, behavioral counselors, and specialized instructors - through a proprietary teletherapy and case-management platform. Founded in 2021 by Diana Heldfond, who was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia as a child, Parallel helps schools deliver legally required IEP services to students with learning and thinking differences when in-person staff are scarce. The company has raised about $48.9 million and reported that 98% of its students met or exceeded their IEP goals in the 2024-2025 school year.
