At Informed K12, we’re on a mission to help school district administrators operate efficiently and gain insight into their most critical school business processes. Still today, most school districts have hundreds of mission critical processes that run on paper, making visibility and improvement near impossible. We transform paperwork from a daily stumbling block to a strategic tool. This makes it possible to hire the right teachers faster, manage bus routes for students without permanent housing, ensure teachers get reimbursed and paid on time, and a lot more. We are powering the future of school district operations by helping district administrators drive the systemic change needed to improve productivity, accountability and equity. Our founders came out of Stanford's Graduate School of Education and was one of the first companies funded by StartX and top education technology incubator Imagine K12, now part of Y Combinator. Learn more at informedk12.com.

Arivihan is an AI-first EdTech platform on a mission to make high-quality, personalised education accessible and affordable for students across India, especially in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. For millions of families, a child’s potential is limited not by talent, but by access — access to good teachers, structured guidance, and affordable preparation. Arivihan is changing this reality by bringing 100% AI-powered tutoring to students’ fingertips, delivering personalised study plans, real-time doubt resolution during live classes, and continuous learning support in students’ own native language. Our platform combines fine-tuned large language models, real-time speech-to-text, OCR on handwritten boards, and exam-specific AI models to ensure students don’t just watch lectures — they truly understand. With Arivihan, no student is ignored, no doubt goes unanswered, and no learner is left behind due to geography or financial constraints. We are building for Real Bharat — where ambition is high, but access has always been limited. Arivihan exists to bridge this gap with technology, empathy, and scale.
