Overview

Odyssey runs a platform that manages Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) and microgrant programs funded by states. It serves as a turnkey system for states to process applications, track payments, prevent fraud, and handle ongoing support, reducing administrative work. For parents, the platform offers a marketplace to browse and buy educational products and services—such as private school tuition, therapies, educational software, and tutoring—using state funds. Vendors like private schools, tutors, and software providers can become approved partners and access a larger market, making it easier to enroll students, bill, and get paid. The company makes money by selling the platform as a service to states and potentially earning transaction fees or vendor subscriptions. Odyssey’s goal is to streamline the allocation and use of educational funds, connect states, parents, and vendors, and expand parental choice in educational resources.
