Ednition, an “infrastructure-as-a-service” platform designed for K-12 EdTech providers, has announced a $1.35 million investment round. Co-founded by Mick Hewitt and Doug Weber, Ednition aims to help EdTech developers build and scale EdTech applications.
Its platform, RosterStream, is designed to solve “vendor infrastructure needs rather than focusing on school and district tools. This approach eliminates costly vendor-side work, like SSO and LTI setup, bypasses the tolls of dated data exchange services, and allows applications to integrate with any SIS or third-party data provider.
Speaking about the company, Co-founders of Ednition, Doug Weber and Mick Hewitt, said:
Our unwavering commitment to delivering holistic data is clearly demonstrated in our recent releases, including our ”Extended Data Domains” feature, which goes beyond core rostering and includes data domains such as: attendance, discipline, assessment, school calendar, intervention, and more.
This means RosterStream users can connect with and support the smallest schools to the largest districts,” according to co-founders, Weber and Hewitt. Most importantly, RosterStream saves EdTech teams thousands of hours of integration, support, and engineering time, significantly relieving the usual workload.
Regarding the future of EdTech, Weber and Hewitt noted, “Companies are grappling with how to integrate AI-powered solutions into their products meaningfully. Seamless data flow in the EdTech ecosystem is a precondition for AI to move from experimental and theoretical to genuinely transformational in the space! Unlocking data flows empowers EdTech to harness AI’s power and actualize whole-child, learner-centered education.
