Santa Barbara, CA — ParentSquare, the award-winning unified school-home engagement platform for K12 education, has been named to the 2024 edition of the GSV 150: GSV’s annual list of the top 150 private companies transforming digital learning and workforce skills.
The GSV 150 are VC- and PE-backed private companies experiencing top-line growth with minimum double-digit millions in revenue. The 2040 cohort collectively reaches ~3B people and generates ~$23B in revenue. GSV made the selections by evaluating over 2,000 private companies across five key factors — revenue scale, revenue growth, user reach, geographic diversification, and margin profile, to determine the top 150 companies globally.
“We are gratified to have been counted among the world’s most transformational growth companies in digital learning and workforce upskilling,” ParentSquare President and Founder Anupama Vaid said. “This recognition is a testament to our mission of developing industry-leading technologies that bridge school-home communication gaps. From groundbreaking AI integrations to new seamless communication tools, we remain focused on helping schools foster family engagement now and well into the future.”
Vaid has also been named an honoree in the ASU+GSV Summit’s Power Of Women Awards. The awards recognize female founders, CEOs, and presidents of commercial and philanthropic organizations that are focused on education and skills innovation at scale. Vaid and her fellow award winners will be honored at the 2024 ASU+GSV Summit, in San Diego.
In addition to receiving the Power Of Women Award, Vaid will be presenting at the summit. In line with the 2024 summit’s theme of exploring the limitless potential of determined, collaborative, and entrepreneurial leaders, Vaid will speak about building a product people are obsessed with.
“The world is adapting to seismic shifts from generative AI,” says GSV Ventures Partner Luben Pampoulov. “AI co-pilots, AI tutors, AI content generators – AI is ubiquitous, and differentiation is increasingly critical. The GSV 150 is an impressive group of edtech companies that are leveraging AI and driving positive outcomes for learners and society.”
