Founded in 2007, SchoolTipline, Inc. is a software company focused on fostering school climates of open communication and learning. SchoolTipline provides technologies that empower students and administrators with information to improve their schools.

Students are bullied everyday in school. They need help and they will communicate with teachers and administrators if they can do so without experiencing increased victimization from the bully. Research has shown that students will use an anonymous, online system to report bullying and other problems. SchoolTipline makes this kind of reporting possible, and thus hopes to increase the number of student reports on incidents such as bullying.

SchoolTipline allows students to feel safe reporting incidents such as school violence. Students will break down the culture of silence and become the eyes and ears of safety when empowered with anonymous communication and the ability to report using methods they prefer such as the Web or text message.

“Our biggest reason for getting involved with SageCreek Partners is that they have years of experience in helping smaller companies move to the next level,” said Justin Bergener, SchoolTipLine CEO. “They provide mentor capital, a new concept that is unmatched by anyone else. They will help us as we strive to have a wider national reach.”
