About
EdSights is an AI-powered student retention platform founded to help colleges and universities reduce dropout rates through proactive, personalized student engagement. The platform uses a conversational AI chatbot that reaches out to students via text message, identifies those at risk of leaving, and connects them with campus support resources before small problems become withdrawal decisions. EdSights applies machine learning to behavioral and engagement signals to flag students who may need intervention.\n\nThe platform is designed for enrollment management, student success, and advising teams at four-year institutions. EdSights automates the outreach process at scale, allowing small advising staffs to maintain meaningful contact with thousands of students simultaneously. The chatbot conducts check-ins, collects sentiment data, and routes at-risk students to the appropriate offices — financial aid, mental health, academic advising — based on the nature of the concern identified.\n\nEdSights has grown to serve 240+ colleges and universities across the United States. The company raised $80M in funding to accelerate its expansion and platform development. It ranked as the #6 fastest-growing education company on the Inc. 5000 list, reflecting strong adoption across both public and private institutions. Its outcomes-focused model — tying engagement automation directly to retention metrics — has positioned EdSights as a leading AI vendor in the student success market.
