Odyssey, founded in 2021, operates a platform that automates the administration of Education Savings Account (ESA) programs. The system connects families, state agencies, and educational vendors to manage applications, process payments, and track compliance. This infrastructure supports the growing number of states adopting ESAs as a mechanism for K-12 school choice.
The company's platform currently powers programs that serve more than 200,000 students across the United States, facilitating access to over $2 billion in state education funding. With nearly 40% of states now offering ESAs, Odyssey's technology addresses a significant and expanding segment of public policy administration in education.
Technical work at the company spans several domains, including platform development, payment processing, and compliance tracking within the EdTech sector. The firm describes itself as a mission-driven startup focused on reducing barriers to educational access based on income or geography.
