VIAS Campus Management: Edtech Software Company Secures $4.4 Million

By Annie Baker • Jun 12, 2023

VIAS Campus Management – an edtech software company offering a comprehensive student information system (SIS) for higher education institutions – announced recently that it has completed its Series A funding round at $3.3 million. This investment was from Arthur Ventures.

Through an innovative approach to campus management, VIAS helps higher education institutions streamline their operations. And the funding round unlocks the next phase of development for VIAS. Launched in 2020, VIAS emerged from one college’s unmet needs for a modern SIS that integrates campus operations into a single platform. And recognizing the limitations of existing solutions, including outdated technology, limited functionality, and prohibitively high costs, the college operators sought to create a transformative SIS built by industry professionals, leading to the creation of VIAS.

Since being founded, VIAS has been overwhelmed with demand, clearly meeting an underserved market need for a new type of SIS. And VIAS now serves campuses across the country and the Series A funding round will propel the company’s reach even further.

VIAS also announce the addition of 2 accomplished board members: Ryan Kruizenga and Amanda Greene. Ryan, a Partner at Arthur Ventures since 2016, brings extensive experience from his previous roles at Mainsail Partners, Summit Partners, and Piper Jaffray. And Amanda is Oyster’s SVP of Customer Experience and Operations and previously served as Head of Global Operations Strategic Planning at Airbnb.

KEY QUOTES:

“Our Series A is an exciting catalyst for our growth. The round will enable us to accelerate product development, expand our team, and better serve our customers.”

“We warmly welcome Amanda and Ryan to our board. Their expertise in scaling startups will be invaluable as we continue to grow.”

— Tyler Caldwell, CEO of VIAS
