About us

We build Kipti for team-based student support.

Schools balance relationships, responsibility, and organization every day. Kipti helps multidisciplinary teams keep observations, strengths, and support needs visible so each student can receive thoughtful support.

Perspective 4

Our origin

A social challenge became a product mission.

Many schools want closer collaboration. Daily constraints often stand in the way: limited time, unclear responsibilities, and information spread across too many places.

01

Starting point

A social motivation

Kipti grew from the conviction that strong student support should not depend on chance. Protected, accessible team context helps professionals see strengths, needs, and possible next steps sooner.

02

Developing the idea

EdTech Next Academy

The EdTech Next Academy helped turn the first idea into a clearer product concept. The focus stayed constant: schools need a simple place for collaboration, not another complicated tool.

03

School conversations

Built with school practice in mind

Conversations with teachers, school leaders, and extended-day teams confirmed the need. People want to collaborate; they need time, structure, and a protected shared understanding.

04

Our name

From Samskipti to Kipti

Kipti takes its name from “Samskipti,” the Icelandic word for communication. That idea defines the product: share relevant context so people can act with a clearer understanding.

Social mission

More opportunity when every student is seen.

Education shapes participation, future opportunity, and social cohesion. Kipti helps teams bring strengths and support needs into view so young people can receive support that reflects their individual circumstances.

More equitable opportunity when different starting points become visible earlier.

More participation when strengths, potential, and support needs receive equal attention.

A stronger community that benefits from a wider range of abilities and perspectives.

What guides us

The standards we use to judge Kipti

Our decisions should give schools a reliable, protected workspace without adding complexity.

Built around school practice

Kipti is built for real school conditions: limited time, many roles, sensitive situations, and a continuing need to act with care.

Shared team knowledge

Teachers, student support, extended-day teams, special education, and leadership should be able to build a shared understanding instead of documenting in isolation.

AI as an assistant

AI helps structure, summarize, and draft. Professionals review every result and retain responsibility for educational judgments and decisions.

Data stewardship

Student-related data needs clear boundaries. Kipti combines scoped EU and EEA processing with documented access controls and explicit sharing.

Product promise

Those values lead to three product decisions.

Kipti helps teams collaborate and prepare useful documentation while keeping professional responsibility with people.

Promise 1Make collaboration easier
Promise 2Make existing notes useful sooner
Promise 3Protect student-related information

Promise 1

Make collaboration easier

Kipti gives teachers, student support, and education professionals one protected workspace.

Knowledge can be shared deliberately, tasks remain visible, and teams can maintain a clearer common understanding.

Promise 2

Make existing notes useful sooner

AI assistance helps turn selected notes into structured drafts.

Teams can prepare family conferences, support plans, and summaries from a traceable documentation basis, then review each result.

Promise 3

Protect student-related information

Sensitive information needs clear responsibilities and documented controls.

Personal data of documented individuals is processed in the EU and EEA under the scope described in Kipti's DPA, with role-based access and explicit sharing.
