About Pathway Labs

Pathway Labs, Inc. operates as a business software provider focused on the educational technology sector. Founded in 2021 by Rishi Satoor and Ahmed Zaeem, the San Francisco-based company develops and markets a cloud-based student information system (SIS) tailored for vocational, trade, and clock-hour schools. The firm addresses the administrative inefficiencies prevalent in this educational segment, aiming to replace disparate spreadsheets and manual processes with a unified platform.

The company's core product, MyPath, is an all-in-one platform designed to manage the complete student lifecycle. Functionality begins with admissions, featuring a customer relationship management (CRM) module to track leads and manage applications, complete with e-signature and payment processing capabilities. For enrolled students, MyPath provides tools for academic management, including gradebooks and attendance tracking with features like QR-code check-ins. The platform also integrates financial components, allowing schools to process student payments and manage payment plans directly within a student portal. Post-graduation, the system assists schools in tracking employment outcomes and licensing, which is critical for accreditation and compliance reporting.

Pathway Labs operates on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business model, offering tiered subscription plans based on school size and required features. Its target clients include a range of specialty schools such as those in Allied Health, Beauty, and EMS & EMT training. The company is venture capital-backed, having secured a seed round of $3.77 million in late 2022 from investors including 10X Capital and Gaingels.
