enhance the communication between K-12 administrators, teachers and
parents, make us enthusiastic about the future of the company.”

“We have been extremely impressed by Edlio’s track record of growth and
commitment to excellence and customer success. We are thrilled to
provide capital, experience and expertise to support management’s
organic growth initiatives and acquire complementary technology products
that augment Edlio’s core offering,” said Jeff
