Sown To Grow (STG) is a K12 education technology platform that empowers schools to improve student social, emotional, and academic health through an easy and engaging check-in and reflection process. In a short weekly routine, students check in on how they are feeling and reflect on the strategies that are working best for them (or new ones to try), and teachers respond with support and coaching. School leaders and student support staff use real-time reporting on students’ emotions and reflections to proactively intervene to support student needs. The system also includes built-in screeners, supporting curriculum, and powerful artifacts of growth.

We are seeking a Product Analyst to join our team.

We are a nimble team that is inspired to make a difference in the world while building a successful business, and care deeply about delivering a product that positively impacts student outcomes.

STG has received seed funding from highly selective, innovative funds, including Imagine K12 (now Y Combinator Edtech), the National Science Foundation, US Department of Education, NewSchools Venture Fund, Digital Promise, and others.
