More about this role
Scout is the AI-native operating system for schools.
Our first product, Scout SIS, is a student information system (SIS). At its core, the SIS a database for schools to store student and staff data. Every school has an SIS, but it’s one of the lowest NPS products in the history of software. Legacy players like PowerSchool are multibillion-dollar, rent-extracting companies that squeeze every dollar they can out of schools by locking them into long-term contracts for products that require significant hidden add-on fees to function properly. We’re trying to change that by automating complex back-office workflows across data validation, legal compliance, and government reporting.
We believe that having a highly efficient back-office with access to an interoperable data store will enable school districts to offer the highest quality of instruction to students, and our OS will enable an ecosystem of next-gen edtech software companies to flourish.
