ThoughtExchange

We offer an engagement and survey platform for K–12 education leaders. We help them collect qualitative and quantitative data to make decisions and improve school climate, engagement, and planning. Hundreds of school districts across North America use us, including those in 38 U.S. states. Our AI analysis reduces the need for consultants and manual work, saving 25-30% on costs. We also prioritize student privacy, data protection, and responsible AI use. We help districts with attendance and enrollment, school climate, staff experience, and strategic planning and budgets. Our customers report an average 85% survey completion rate and faster analysis of large datasets.

We want to make the world more thoughtful, one community at a time, by helping organizations solve challenges with better insights. We believe everyone’s voice should be included in decisions that affect them. People should feel heard and valued, and leaders should have access to authentic perspectives to bring groups together around ideas. Our core values are extraordinary respect and generous curiosity. We aim to foster meaningful dialogue and a deeper understanding of complex topics.

Founded in 2009, we’re a remote-first company with 51 to 200 employees across North America. Our culture is guided by our core values of extraordinary respect and generous curiosity. We aim to create an environment where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered. We emphasize inclusivity, aiming for a workforce that represents the communities we serve. We promote continuous learning, collaboration, and open dialogue through initiatives like quarterly employee-led discussions and Employee Resource Groups (e.g., the Women at ThoughtExchange ERG). We align with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, starting all-company meetings with land acknowledgments and offering learning opportunities about Indigenous perspectives. Our culture prioritizes trust, connection, and the freedom to bring forward new ideas. We use our own platform for internal feedback to ensure employee perspectives are heard.

We offer flexible leave policies, an annual professional development stipend, and remote work-from-abroad policies. We provide 10 company-wide mental health days each year and flexible work arrangements. We have an open vacation policy (minimum three weeks) and support for personal time, sick time, bereavement (including chosen family and pets), pregnancy loss, parental leave, and jury duty. You receive share options when you join us. We invest in equipment, providing top-of-the-line tech and the flexibility to choose your home office setup. Our benefits include virtual healthcare, mental well-being, mindfulness resources, modular extended benefit plans for families, and parental leave top-ups. Our Project Giveback program allows high-performing sales employees to donate to a charity of their choice; we’ve contributed over $85,000 to various causes. We foster connection through virtual cooking nights, book clubs, watch parties, niche Slack groups, and monthly virtual all-company meetings.
