Austin, TX (PRWEB) February 03, 2015 -- Civitas Learning, the Austin-based predictive analytics Software-as-a-Service (Saas) innovator on a mission to help a million more students graduate every year by 2025, today announced $16 million in funding led by new investor Rethink Education, a venture capital firm that invests in progressive companies that are at the forefront of the education technology industry.

Civitas Learning’s intense focus on quantifying its impact on student success rates is a breath of fresh air for the education sector, and continues to produce remarkable results, said Rick Segal, Managing Director of Rethink Education.

The company will use the funding to continue its remarkable growth trajectory, which has already seen the company more than double the size of its team to nearly 100, while continuing to add success-driven higher education institutions to its growing community, including recent additions Texas A&M University, University of Washington, The University of Texas at Austin, and Florida International University. As the fastest growing start-up selling to the higher education market, Civitas Learning currently manages data across hundreds of campuses, helping more than 2.3 million students navigate the complex journey through college.

The Civitas Learning platform provides data-driven, visually compelling and educationally valuable insights to students, faculty, advisors and administrators, ultimately helping college and university students learn well and graduate with a credential in hand.

“Civitas Learning’s intense focus on quantifying its impact on student success rates is a breath of fresh air for the education sector, and continues to produce remarkable results,” said Rick Segal, Managing Director of Rethink Education. “Their unique approach to working in close collaboration with higher education institutions and building a community of thought leaders is very powerful. The company and its partner institutions are truly bringing actionable data science to the front lines of education.”

“We’re thrilled to add these investors to the fold,” said Charles Thornburgh, Civitas Learning’s co-founder and CEO. “With their help, we can bring even more skill, will, and resources to our student success mission. This support puts us in a great position to help our partners make a major difference in the months and years to come.”
