Who We Are & What We Do:

Branching Minds’ mission is to empower all educators to effectively, efficiently and equitably support the holistic needs of their students and to create a path to academic and personal success for every learner. Already supporting over 1,500,000 students across 400+ districts from 35 states, our vision is to be the most impactful national K12 school district solution for achieving high-fidelity RTI/MTSS; consistently demonstrating our ability to save teachers planning/documenting time, improve outcomes of our students, and eliminate achievement gaps.

As a startup, we don’t have to play by the rules of traditional organizations. We get to be innovative in the solutions we develop for our partners and the way we conduct our business for ourselves. Branching Minds is also a Benefit corporation, we get to prioritize our mission > profit, and the means of getting there is just as important as the ends. We err towards self-management, transparency, collaboration, initiative, and giving a damn.

If using innovation to reimagine education in service of equity energizes you -- join our team!
