Following their initial announcement in June, Hero K12 and BV Investment Partners announced SchoolMint will be joining their EdTech platform. A leading provider of cloud-based student enrollment and school choice systems for PreK-12 district, charter, and independent schools, SchoolMint is an example of Hero K12 and BV’s investment strategy, focusing on applications to improve school operational efficiencies.
SchoolMint serves several of the nation’s largest school districts, including Chicago Public Schools, Oakland Unified School District, and the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. The combination of SchoolMint and Hero K12 represents over 8,000 schools and more than 2 million students. The market growth opportunities available to the combined companies now extend from enrollment to graduation in districts that include traditional public, charter, and independent schools across the country.
Both companies have a shared mission to better help schools connect with families and students. Hero K12’s applications support those same families with a focus on positive behavior recognition and early intervention for students. SchoolMint is headquartered in San Francisco, and Hero K12 is headquartered in Miami Lakes. Both brands plan to maintain their strong presence in the marketplace with a combined growth strategy driving the collective platform forward.
“We are excited to collaborate with Jinal and his team given SchoolMint’s unique positioning at the start of the student’s journey,” said Mark MacDonald, chief executive officer of Hero K12. “Supporting the student’s journey with Hero K12’s impact on a more positive school culture will be a great benefit to our shared customers.”
