About
Thirty years in education. Fifteen in technology.
Why this exists
Owtset is built by two founders — one with thirty years inside the education sector, one with fifteen years building software. Between them they had watched the same thing happen for long enough to stop describing it and start building.
The pattern is always the same. A school has one counsellor for four hundred students, so almost nobody gets an hour. The decision gets made anyway — on a cousin’s advice, a coaching centre’s brochure, a forum thread at midnight.
Owtset gives every student the attention that would otherwise go to a handful. It watches what a student is actually getting wrong, keeps track of where they are in a four-year process, and puts the real cost in front of a family early enough to matter.
How we make money
Not from schools.
School portals are free and are intended to stay that way. The business is built around families who want more — one-to-one counselling, application support, and services alongside the platform.
We would rather say this plainly now than be asked about it later.
Where we are
Early. We are working with a small number of schools in India and the Gulf, closely, before opening this more widely. If that sounds like your school, we would like to hear from you.
