LITTLE ROCK, AR (October 17, 2025) — Apptegy, the leading provider of Effective Community Communication tools for K–12 schools, has been named to the 2026 GSV 150. This honor elevates Apptegy as one of the world’s most transformational growth companies in education.
GSV evaluated more than 3,000 global companies to determine the 2026 GSV 150. The selected companies collectively reach over 3 billion learners and represent more than $50 billion in annual revenue.
“This recognition reflects what happens when technology and mission align,” said Bob Butler, CEO of Apptegy. “Apptegy is focused on helping school leaders communicate with confidence, build trust in their communities, and elevate the reputation of public education. Being part of the GSV 150 validates not just our growth, but the growing importance of communication as a pillar of learning and leadership.”
Reimagining Communication in K–12 Education
Apptegy partners with more than 5,250 school districts across North America to help them simplify communication, elevate their brand, and empower every role in their organization.
Apptegy provides a complete K-12 communications platform that brings together websites, mobile apps, alerts, newsletters, and two-way teacher parent messaging, all using the school district’s brand. Apptegy helps districts protect their reputation, reach every family and communicate what matters most quickly, consistently, and safely.
Recent innovations such as AI-powered content moderation, brand-level control tools, real-time collaboration for newsletters, and centralized inboxes for staff and families, continue to set a new standard for what “effective communication” looks like in schools.
In the Spring 2025 issue of SchoolCEO magazine, research highlighted that collaboration between superintendents, communication leaders, and technology officers builds stronger community trust and more connected districts. Apptegy’s platform directly supports that collaboration giving every leader, teacher, and parent a unified way to connect and engage.
