EdSights Secures $80M from JMI Equity for Student Engagement Platform

EdSights, an AI-powered student voice platform, secured an $80 million strategic growth investment. JMI Equity, a prominent growth equity software investor, led the funding round.

The company partners with over 240 universities and colleges nationwide. EdSights employs AI and personalized SMS communications to proactively engage students. This student engagement platform identifies at-risk individuals and boosts degree completion. Furthermore, the platform transforms interactions into real-time insights, addressing hidden barriers to student success.

This new investment will scale EdSights' product platform. It also facilitates team expansion to serve more institutions. Consequently, the company aims to strengthen student retention strategies across the country.

EdSights' technology empowers advisors with targeted interventions. This reshapes how colleges support students. While competitors like Civitas Learning and EAB also offer student success solutions, EdSights focuses on its unique AI-driven student engagement platform. The platform's opt-in and engagement rates significantly exceed industry averages.

The company, founded in 2018, champions a student-centered higher education system.
