**About Apptegy**
Since our start in 2015, we've gone from a group of individuals to a community pushing toward the same goal of building a fantastic company with great people, great products, and, most importantly, a great culture.
Apptegy is building products to empower school leaders to run better schools.
We are building the first marketing platform for schools.
Thrillshare, our publishing platform, makes it easy for schools to share positive stories with their communities and the world.
We are growing quickly and are focused on bringing thoughtful, high-performers together to craft amazing products for our clients.
We've been able to build an exceptional engineering team that cares about their work and each other.
**What we've built and are building**:
Apptegy works with thousands of schools and school districts across the United States.
For the past 6 years, we've been working on making our technology into a breath of fresh air.
School leaders, superintendents and administrators have some of the most stressful and demanding jobs in the world.
They are responsible for the safety, well-being, and education of thousands of students.
Every day they juggle the roles of politician, disciplinarian, visionary, and accountant.
That's why we focus on simplicity.
By making everything simple, we lower the technical barrier so that any administrator can lead with the most powerful tools available.
In short, we are enabling school leaders to brand, market, and strengthen their schools.
Amazing events and happenings occur in schools every day and our technology allows that to be shared across web, mobile, social media, and alerts with a single, simple-to-use tool.
