Avela is an edtech platform designed to simplify the educational journey for families. The platform enables parents to search for, apply to, and register for various educational programs, including daycare and K-12 schools, through a unified application system. Avela supports educational institutions by streamlining backend admissions and operational workflows, ultimately promoting equity and access within the education sector. The platform consists of four main components: Avela Explore (a mobile-optimized school finder), Avela Apply (an application management system), Avela Match (an admission lottery system), and Avela Enroll (an online registration platform). Founded by leading educators and economists, Avela aims to transform how families connect with educational opportunities and enables schools to effectively manage enrollment processes while fostering greater inclusivity.
