Abl is on a mission to improve the public education system in the US. They are building a platform that offers advanced, data-driven software and services to help school and district leaders operate more efficiently and identify and remove barriers to equity.
Abl believes every student deserves the opportunity to maximize their potential by making informed and meaningful choices about their lives and futures. Unfortunately, many students aren’t given the same opportunities due to systemic inequities perpetuated by outdated, unresponsive systems.
We have raised $12M so far from top-tier investors and are fully-remote.
By simplifying complex operational processes, we expose and disrupt ineffective and inequitable pathways through data analysis and intelligent tools so districts can intentionally design flexible and responsible schools that allow students to own their futures. Abl current offerings include:
EquitABL Opportunity Analysis
Surface and visualize district-wide scheduling, demographic, and academic programming data to help you make better decisions about student and teacher equity.
VisABL Scheduling
Smart software that enables your team to tackle difficult scheduling challenges, expand staff capacity, and build strategic master schedules aligned to district goals.
