Company Overview

Founded and grown by people with a genuine belief in helping people thrive in higher education, Solutionpath develops technologies which help institutions understand engagement, improve retention, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of their students.

The company has grown organically, developing an increasingly mature product, and finding enthusiasm and market appreciation for the technology and expertise we bring to our customers. We’re a close-knit team with a relaxed and informal nature, and we’re trying to build a company culture of kindness, shared responsibility, and ownership.

We want everyone to have a voice and a say in how we further improve and grow, and we’re going through a period of transition to help us focus more effectively and sustainably on products and customers. We want everyone to have the tools, time, and support to play a part in that, and we’re reshaping the company to make that a reality.
