Pathify, the rapidly expanding higher education digital experience hub, has recently made a strategic move by acquiring Navengage, a leading EdTech company in student engagement mobile technology. This acquisition is a game-changer for both companies, as it paves the way for a new era of innovation in the higher education tech sector.
Pathify is the most popular independent student portal in the United States. It unites all institutional technology, information, resources, and communication. A fourth straight year of strong financial efficiency and impressive top-line revenue growth has allowed the company to extend its reach in new and exciting ways. Navengage is its first acquisition.
Started by Chase Williams and James McCubbin, Pathify is dedicated to developing incredible technology and building lasting relationships with its customers. The organization is also laser-focused on delivering exceptional experiences to all student lifecycle stages, from prospect to alumnus. The platform helps higher education professionals meet students where they are—on their mobile devices—by enabling institutions to gather comprehensive, accurate, and conveniently accessible data for well-informed decision-making.
Speaking on the deal, Co-founder & CEO of Pathify, Chase Williams, said:
Pathify has always valued impact. Acquiring Navengage enables Pathify to significantly influence the student engagement space and better support Anthology customers. We’re thrilled to welcome Navengage into the Pathify family.
Following the acquisition, Navengage will continue to operate without any disruptions, ensuring the ongoing support and growth of its products. Pathify has planned various integration enhancements to maintain the support for Navengage’s customers.
Andrew Strause, CEO and Co-founder of Navengage added:
Today’s announcement is a testament to our team’s exceptional work in building Navengage into the premier student engagement mobile app it is today. Pathify’s expertise and resources across higher education provide a strong foundation from which we can continue to impact the student experience.
Pathify and Navengage are joining forces to host a series of upcoming events, demonstrating their collective efforts in revolutionizing the student experience. These events will showcase the innovative solutions and technologies that are reshaping the way students engage with their educational institutions.
Co-founded in 2020 by three Penn State University graduates, Navengage provides a streamlined, mobile-native app for accessing and promoting events, student organizations, and campus resources while also fostering student connections and belonging. The firm recently partnered with Anthology, serving as a comprehensive mobile experience for Anthology Engage. Its growing customer base includes institutions such as California Polytechnic State University, Penn State University, Roger Williams University, Texas Tech University, the University of Memphis, and the University of North Carolina Charlotte.
