SchoolStack.AI | Technology Backed by the Building Hope Impact Fund

You opened a school because you saw a better way to educate children. You didn't sign up to spend your evenings reconciling payments, your weekends building spreadsheets, or your nights worrying about making payroll.

We're building SchoolStack.ai to change that. Our vision: a platform that connects to your existing tools, QuickBooks, your payment processors, your bank, and shows you exactly where your school stands financially. Not last month's guess, but today's reality. And over time, a proprietary financial health score that learns from real school outcomes to help you see problems before they become crises.

The Problem We're Solving

Running a small school means wearing every hat. You're the visionary, the educator, the HR department, and, whether you want it or not, the CFO. But most school founders aren't financial experts, and the tools that exist either are expensive or weren't built for education.

The result? Founders flying blind. Research shows that 44-45% of small independent schools operate at a deficit. Not because their education fails, but because they can't see problems coming until it's too late

What We're Building

SchoolStack.ai will be the intelligence layer between your existing tools and better decisions. We're designing it to connect to what you already use: QuickBooks, Stripe, ClassWallet, Gusto, your bank, and translate all that data into insights you can actually act on.

Metrics that matter

Collection rates, enrollment trends, contract coverage, facility costs as a percentage of revenue: the indicators that actually predict school health, not just standard accounting reports.

A Financial Health Score Built on Real Outcomes

Here's what makes SchoolStack.ai different: we're not guessing what predicts school success. Through Building Hope's Lending Lab, we're learning from actual payback behaviors and school outcomes to build a proprietary financial health score.Over time, this score will help founders understand where they stand, help us serve more schools with better-fit capital, and create a feedback loop that gets smarter with every school we work with.

The Vision

We don't want to turn educators into accountants. We want to give you the clarity to make confident financial decisions, the warnings to avoid preventable crises, and the documentation to access the capital you need to grow.Because you started a school to change children's lives. You deserve tools that help you keep it open long enough to do exactly that.
