Pathify raises $25M to expand digital engagement platform for higher education

Pathify, a digital engagement hub for higher education, has received a $25 million minority investment from Five Elms Capital.

The investment will be used to enhance Pathify’s platform capabilities, expand its integration library, introduce new products, and increase adoption across higher education institutions.

The company reports it has experienced a 544% growth over the past three years and plans to continue its expansion. The funding will support improvements to its vendor-agnostic integration capabilities, allowing institutions to connect with a range of systems.

Chase Williams, CEO and co-founder of Pathify, said, “This latest round of funding marks the beginning of a pivotal period for Pathify as institutions increasingly prioritize technology solutions that deliver measurable ROI while enabling meaningful experiences for students, faculty and admin. Partnering with Five Elms positions us to continue redefining the campus digital engagement experience and solidifying Pathify as a category leader.”

Five Elms Capital, which invests in high-growth B2B software companies, emphasized the role of Pathify in higher education technology.

Stephanie Schneider, Partner at Five Elms Capital, said:

“Pathify is revolutionizing the way higher education institutions engage their constituents, driving deep customer connections and long-term platform stickiness. Their growth reflects the increasing demand for more connected, user-centric digital solutions that enhance engagement while replacing multiple point solutions at an institution. We are thrilled to partner with Chase and the Pathify team as they scale their platform and redefine digital engagement.”
