The fractured nature of the education ecosystem has made these three goals increasingly elusive. EdSolutions was founded with the belief that better knowledge, delivered at the right time, can deliver brighter outcomes for underserved students.
A deep understanding of education markets is necessary to break this cycle and achieve sustainable results that benefit students. We are committed to achieving this goal.
Our Story
For many years, our founders Jeff Livingston, Beth Mejia, and Jay Bakhru developed, launched, marketed, and sold products + services within the P-16 education market. During that time, they learned much about customer needs, product requirements, and the competitive environment—the dynamics of the education market that produce scalable solutions. They also independently discovered that many of those solutions were not working for our most vulnerable students. When the opportunity arose to help a large philanthropy answer the question, “How many Black, Brown, EL and kids experiencing poverty have access to high quality materials?” they joined forces and dove in.
EdSolutions was born out of the need to help impact-investors and their grantees use the levers of the market to drive impact.
