Edtech Startup Script Receives Investment from Ark Applications, LLC and PAR, Inc.


Tampa, FL – July 11, 2017 -- Script has announced it has successfully secured funding with a strategic investment from two local companies, Ark Applications, LLC, and PAR, Inc. The agreement comes on the tails of a great year thus far for Script, who has seen quick adoption within the Florida school market.  Script’s product, which focuses on the streamlining and digitization of permission forms and related payments, has helped to mitigate risk, secure financial transaction, and enable educators to focus on their core responsibilities in school.


According to Dayspring Academy, one of the first adopters of Script’s software, there has been great benefit to using Script within their charter schools. “Script has dramatically simplified the field trip process and has allowed our teachers to focus on what they do best...teach,” said school founder John Legg. The app has proven to be extremely helpful for the school, which uses field trips as an integral part of their educational mix. Other schools in the Tampa Bay area have found similar benefits, relieving pressure from teachers and administrative staff.


Script intends to direct the funding to increase their footprint and begin expanding to markets outside of Florida. “We have been so excited for Script to be part of Tampa Bay WaVe, and can’t wait to see what the future holds now that they have finished fundraising” said Danny McDonald, Accelerator Manager at the WaVe.

Script CEO Aaron White had positive things to say as well, “Script is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Ark Applications and PAR. PAR’s 30-plus years of experience marketing and delivering products to institutional education customers and Ark Application's expertise in strategic growth are key to our future success. This partnership helps fulfill our mission of eliminating needless time spent on paperwork in the classroom so teachers can finally teach more and manage less.”

“We are delighted to partner with the Script team and assist them in advancing on all their tremendous accomplishments to date. They are an example of the robust talent within the Tampa Bay entrepreneurial ecosystem as well as another stellar group from the Tampa Bay WaVe program,” said Daniel D. Greco II, Managing Director of Ark Applications, LLC.


The terms of the deal have not been disclosed. In connection with the partnership is an equity stake in Script, LLC, which will provide the team with working capital needed to pursue a market expansion strategy.
