About project

Odyssey is a platform that builds a technology to enable parents to choose the best education for their child. Odyssey is guided by their mission of ensuring access to high-quality K-12 education for all students. The company is creating a marketplace for realization of ESA (Education Savings Accounts) and microgrant programs — a platform that allows state to issue funds to parents who then use these funds to pay for approved educational expenses related to customizing the education program for their kids.
