Authentica Solutions, a leader in data integration and intelligence management solutions for the education sector, announced the successful completion of a $6.2 million Series Seed funding round led by Owl Ventures.
The company’s Education Intelligence Platform called Authentica seed empowers stakeholders across the education ecosystem by providing the flexibility, security, and clear data ownership.
This funding will further Authentica Solutions’ goal to accelerate from data management to intelligence management while making substantial advances toward solving interoperability in the education sector. Authentica’s mission is to enable institutions to unlock the full potential of their data investments to achieve actionable decisions. And Authentica accomplishes this through exceptional integration, automated data quality improvement, and top-tier data management and provisioning within a secure single source of intelligence.
The education community has been dynamic and dramatically changed since COVID with a focus on serving K -12 school districts, higher education at all levels, departments/ministries of education, ed-tech software providers (enterprise and web-based), systems integrators, and key strategic partners. And the importance of having explicit clarity in the development of an exceptional ecosystem focused on academic growth, coupled with solutions that empower true data ownership for customers is clear.
This funding round will enable the team to scale operations, invest in R&D, and broaden their reach to more institutions and EdTech partners seeking innovative data solutions. And Authentica Solutions is also innovating in advanced research with a project currently in stealth mode: Authentica reach.
Authentica reach will be an enterprise platform built directly upon the Authentica seed platform, enabling K12 institutions with advanced intelligence, accessibility, and an AI-driven system to support all individuals involved with students with diverse needs.
