About Scout
Scout is an AI-powered Student Information System (SIS) purpose-built for K-12 independent study, hybrid charter, and home-study programs. It automates the entire school compliance pipeline — from student records and attendance tracking to end-to-end state reporting (CALPADS, PADC, ConApp, OCR) — compressing what used to be a month-long process into a few hours. Scout's AI agents proactively reach out to parents and students via phone, email, text, and its mobile app to collect documents, mark absences, and complete enrollment tasks without administrator involvement. Every document is scanned for compliance on ingestion, highlighting exactly what's wrong and how to fix it. Scout treats each student like a customer in a CRM — moving them through enrollment and attendance funnels automatically, flagging only the cases that genuinely need human attention and saving as much as 95% of time spent on compliance. The platform syncs with 50+ online curriculum and LMS providers, automatically pulling student activity, assignment completion, and engagement data in real time. Family communication is built in across Teams, Slack, email, and WhatsApp. Founded in 2024 by Noah Fichter and Max Bertfield, backed by Y Combinator (Winter 2025), and based in New York City.
