Apptegy

We started Apptegy in 2013 to provide an all-in-one K-12 communications platform for districts and schools. Our platform currently serves over 5,250 districts across all 50 states.

We offer a complete website and Content Management System (CMS) with a drag-and-drop webpage builder and strong content moderation tools. We also develop native mobile applications for districts. Our platform includes various messaging features like timely alerts, mass notifications, secure two-way messaging, and automated translation for families. It streamlines publishing across multiple channels and features an AI chatbot to answer community questions and identify information gaps.

We focus on iPhone and Android development, web applications, and tools for school communication and social media integration. We also publish SchoolCEO magazine, a quarterly resource for school leaders with insights, marketing guides, and original research. All our platform and services are unified under the Apptegy name, though we were previously associated with Thrillshare.

Our mission is to partner with school districts and organizations. We aim to simplify their communication, strengthen their brand, and empower everyone within their organization.

Our work is guided by two core values: Thoughtfulness and High Performance. Thoughtfulness means recognizing chances to value others and acting on that impulse, whether it’s with colleagues, clients, or in the services we provide. High Performance means doing a lot of high-quality work with clear purpose.

We also focus on our clients, offering hospitality and dedicated support.

Apptegy employs between 201 and 500 people. The company cultivates a culture of thoughtful, high-performing individuals motivated by meaningful work.

Employees are expected to work with intensity, aiming to achieve goals efficiently. The company encourages an “Outcomes Over Ego” approach, which means seeking help, owning mistakes, and prioritizing team needs. A growth mindset is valued, reflecting an understanding that self-improvement is an ongoing process. Excellence is a core expectation, with employees driven to complete tasks to the best of their ability.

Apptegy’s teams include Sales, Client Experience, People & Operations, Product, Design & Engineering, Marketing, and Finance & Data. Its client success team comprises 400 staff members.

We offer a full benefits package including medical, dental, and vision insurance. Employees receive life insurance, 401(k) with an employer match, and access to Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).

We also provide mental health reimbursement, unlimited paid time off (which includes seasonal company-wide time off in December), and paid parental and medical leave.
