K-12 student enrollment and school choice management platform for charter networks and public districts. San Francisco CA, raised $25M+.
SchoolMint is a K-12 student enrollment and school choice management platform designed for charter school networks, magnet programs, and public school districts that manage competitive or choice-based enrollment processes. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, SchoolMint has raised more than $25 million and serves hundreds of school networks and districts across the United States that administer lottery-based enrollment, waitlist management, and strategic enrollment processes rather than simple geographic zone assignment.\n\nSchoolMint's platform manages the full enrollment workflow for choice-based schools: online application submission and document collection, lottery randomization and compliance documentation, enrollment offer communication and acceptance tracking, waitlist management, and integration with student information systems for records transfer. For charter networks, the platform handles coordination across multiple school sites with a unified enrollment portal that makes it easy for families to apply to multiple schools in a network. Districts running magnet programs or open enrollment policies use SchoolMint to administer the lottery process transparently and equitably.\n\nSchoolMint has expanded into broader student recruitment marketing tools, helping schools and districts attract families who are not already aware of their school choice options, and into family engagement features that support student success after enrollment. The company competes with Enrollment Rx, Liaison International's K-12 tools, and the enrollment capabilities built into major SIS platforms, differentiating through its specialization in lottery-based enrollment processes and charter school network workflows. Its combination of enrollment management, communication automation, and CRM-like family engagement tools positions it as a strategic enrollment platform rather than a basic application form tool.
Indoor vertical farming company using AI-optimized growing systems. San Francisco, CA. Raised $940M+ including $400M from SoftBank. Partners with Walmart for US farms.
Plenty is a San Francisco-based indoor vertical farming company that uses AI, machine learning, and robotics to grow leafy greens and other produce in controlled indoor environments. The company has raised over $940 million from investors including SoftBank Vision Fund, which invested $200 million in 2017, and has positioned itself as the technology leader in data-driven indoor agriculture.\n\nPlenty's farms use precisely controlled light, temperature, humidity, and nutrient conditions to grow crops that are free from pesticides, use 99% less land, and consume significantly less water than conventional field agriculture. The company's AI systems continuously optimize growing conditions based on sensor data, learning to improve yields and quality across crops and growing cycles.\n\nIn 2022, Plenty announced a landmark partnership with Walmart to supply leafy greens from a new large-scale facility in Compton, California. This partnership provided both a major commercial anchor and significant additional funding from Walmart, validating Plenty's technology and business model at scale. The company also operates a dedicated strawberry R&D partnership with Driscoll's, the world's largest berry company, demonstrating the platform's potential beyond leafy greens.
