We’re excited to share that Ribbon Education has been acquired by ETS, a global leader in educational and talent solutions.
Our mission has always been to make education more affordable and effective for learners. Over the past three years, we’ve worked toward this mission by developing and scaling an AI-driven platform that addresses critical challenges for student success teams, helping them support every learner with greater efficiency and impact.
Joining ETS provides us with a tremendous opportunity to expand our reach and continue addressing the unique needs of today's learners. Our founding team will be stepping into leadership roles within ETS’s Global Higher Education division, where we’ll focus on building new student-centered solutions to support learners' career readiness goals.
Building a startup, like many meaningful endeavors, requires the support of an entire community.
We want to take a moment to recognize a few groups of people who’ve been instrumental in our journey:
Our early supporters: From investors to friends and mentors, your early belief in us was invaluable. Whether you took that phone call to validate our ideas, offered advice to first-time founders, or invested your time, money or connections, we wouldn’t be here without your support. Thank you for betting on us when Ribbon was just an idea.
The schools and teams who adopted Ribbon: Your partnership was essential to our growth. By integrating Ribbon into your programs, providing feedback, and giving us the space to evolve, you helped us refine and improve Ribbon’s platform. Your encouragement and commitment to students' have been key in helping us serve you and your students better.
The student success leaders: Many of you joined our Learner Success Guild, forming a rich community of student success leaders and practitioners. We’ve learned so much from you, and we’re deeply grateful for the insights, stories, and resources you’ve shared along the way.
Our incredible team and collaborators: To the engineers, designers, and advisors who worked alongside us, thank you. Your talents, dedication, and hard work brought Ribbon to life. None of this would have been possible without your contributions.
Above all, we are deeply grateful to the student success community and the higher education and adult education sector as a whole. It has been an honor to serve you. Your dedication to helping students achieve their goals is truly inspiring, and watching you show up for students day in and day out continues to motivate us in our work.
We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built at Ribbon. As we step into this next chapter, we look forward to continuing our mission—serving students and this incredible community in new and exciting ways.
With gratitude to each of you —
Lisa and Joe
