On a mission to empower families by helping states administer education savings accounts and microgrant programs.
About us
Odyssey is a mission driven company that helps families easily access state funding so that they can attend the school of their choice. We do this by partnering with state agencies to administer school choice programs, such as education savings accounts (ESAs), that enable parents to pay for approved educational expenses like school tuition, tutors, technology, software, and curriculum. At Odyssey, our technology powers ESA programs that enroll more than 80,000 students and help them access more than $600 million in state funding. In the 2026-2027 school year, Odyssey will enable 235,000 students to receive more than $2 billion in school choice funding. Sitting at the intersection of tech, government, and education, Odyssey offers potential employees an immediate and substantive impact for students and families. Supported by well known investors and advisors (Katherine Boyle/A16Z/Tusk Venture Partners) Odyssey is gaining traction quickly with ample opportunity for growth. As our team expands, we are looking for top-tier talent to join our mission in driving the future of education forward. Want to join us? Get in touch at careers@withodyssey.com.

As more states shift toward Education Savings Accounts (ESAs), the conversation often centers on policy. But at Odyssey, we know that policy is only as good as the technology that powers it. Our Founder & CEO, Joseph Connor, recently sat down with Government Technology's Center for Digital Education to discuss the intersection of tech and policy in the K-12 space. With Odyssey now implementing the Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) program—the largest ESA rollout in U.S. history—Joe shared critical insights on how we’re making "digital wallets" a reality for families. 📝 Key Takeaways from the Interview: 👉 The "Digital Wallet" Revolution: Unlike traditional vouchers, ESAs give families a flexible digital wallet to cover everything from tuition and tutoring to homeschool curriculum. 👉 Vetting at Scale: Successful programs require a robust "operational layer." Odyssey’s platform doesn't just process payments; it vets local vendors to ensure every dollar is spent on high-quality, approved educational services. 👉 User-Centric Design: For school choice to work, it must be seamless. Joe highlights how our end-to-end platform simplifies the experience for parents, schools, and state agencies alike. "The primary hurdle for these programs is not just policy, but infrastructure," says Joe. "We are proud to be building that infrastructure to empower over 150,000 applicants in Texas and thousands more across Iowa, Georgia, Louisiana, Utah and Wyoming."

Odyssey reposted this
Everything is bigger in Texas ...including school choice. After a busy 48 hours, I just wanted to share that I'm incredibly proud that Odyssey helped power the record setting launch of the Texas Education Freedom Accounts. Thank you to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and their entire team for allowing us to be a partner on such an incredibly smooth rollout. 61,000 applications and counting... Now back to work. https://lnkd.in/eCZQnCdg
