We've been in the 5AM crisis meeting. Voted on school budgets. Agonized over student safety plans. We know how important the work you do is — because we’ve done it too.
ARLO wasn’t designed by people who’ve never stepped into a school. It was built by folks who’ve been in school administration, union leadership, the classroom, on MTSS data teams, and served on the school committee.
That experience is what ARLO was built on.
Jake brings over 18 years in K–12 public education to ARLO — not as a consultant or observer, but as a classroom teacher, union leader, data coordinator, school administrator, and elected school committee member. He built the original ARLO prototype himself, driven by firsthand frustration with the tools available to MTSS teams. When educators build these tools from the ground up, they solve real-world problems the right way — for the people who use them.
Nathan is the founder of Kirschbaum Development Group, a 35-person software firm with experience building enterprise applications across legal, medical, educational, and other highly regulated environments. He brings 15 years of enterprise software leadership to ARLO and leads the engineering of its commercial platform — built with a security-first architecture for the privacy and compliance demands of K–12 institutions. Nathan brings the technical maturity EdTech requires: the discipline to build software safely, responsibly, and at scale.
Every feature we build starts with the same question: does this help get the right support to the right student faster? The longer a student waits, the further they slip behind.
Every click and login we eliminate buys back minutes that belong with students — minutes spent teaching, supporting, and connecting with the kids who need them.
The hardest part of this job isn’t the work — it’s remembering everything, for everyone, all at once. ARLO nudges you when it matters, so you’re not carrying that alone.
ARLO surfaces the right information at the right moment so your team can make confident, defensible, data-driven decisions about student needs and supports.
Student data is sacred. FERPA and COPPA compliance is baked into ARLO’s architecture from day one — never bolted on as an afterthought, and never an option to skip.
MTSS is not a one-time fix and neither is our software. We build in cycles, release with intention, and stay close to the schools we serve — listening more than talking.
