It could be considered a sign of the times, but edtech startup Panorama has recently doubled in size in terms of people, and now in office space. The Boston, MA-based education data analytics company just announced a pretty big expansion. Customer demand was so big in 2015 that they had to hire aggressively to keep up with it and have grown to 50 people. The company helps K-12 schools collect feedback in the form of surveys from teachers, parents, and students, and then analyzes the data to help improve the learning environment. Currently Panorama serves over 3 million students across 40 states and recently added a few very large districts including the Dallas Independent School District, Seattle Public Schools, Broward County (Fla.) Public Schools, and Newton (Mass.) Public Schools, to its list of clients. Their technology helps educators and school administrators understand student engagement, social-emotional learning, family involvement, school culture, and teacher retention. Over the summer, Pandora announced a $12M Series A funding round with participation from Owl Ventures and Spark Capital. No doubt this funding helped the company reach its current level of expansion.
