What Move This World does
Move This World (legal entity Manage Mindfully, Inc.) is a PreK-12 social-emotional learning and mental health platform founded in 2007 by Fulbright Scholar Sara Potler LaHayne and now operating as part of Riverside Insights. The company delivers a CASEL-recognized, MTSS-aligned curriculum organized into three tiers: Tier 1 provides grade-specific video-based curricula (Early Elementary through High School) with 36 week-long units per grade; Tier 2 offers small-group skill-specific interventions; and Tier 3 routes students into integrated teletherapy partnerships such as Presence. The underlying technology is a browser-based video platform built around short participatory videos with actors, designed for zero-prep teacher implementation. Complementary products include an Adult Wellness on-demand platform (over 50 video/audio experiences for educators and staff), Family Resources with home-practice logins, the Emotion Motion Podcast for ages 3-8, and the Move This World with Sara podcast.
The business model is enterprise subscription-based, with quote-driven annual licensing to K-12 districts and schools based on size and tiered scope. Go-to-market combines direct field sales (Request a Demo / Schedule a Consultation CTAs) with channel partnerships through LMS and assessment platforms including PowerSchool, D2L Brightspace, Panorama Education, Aperture Education, xSEL Labs, and Illuminate Education. Customer segments span administrators, counselors, teachers, students, families, and educator wellness buyers within U.S. public and charter K-12 systems, with reported reach of 4M+ students across 45 states and 9 countries. The company has raised approximately $6.25M across disclosed rounds from 2018 to 2022, and in 2025 became part of Riverside Insights, bundling its instructional platform with the DESSA screener to deliver a closed-loop MTSS solution.

Move This World competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Panorama Education: Panorama Education provides K-12 social-emotional learning surveys, assessments, and intervention tools to schools and districts. It is a direct peer because it competes with Move This World's MTSS-aligned SEL platform, particularly through its Panorama Student Success platform that combines SEL instruction with data insights.
- Committee for Children (Second Step): Committee for Children develops Second Step, one of the most widely adopted PreK-8 SEL curricula in U.S. schools. It is a direct peer because it sells CASEL-aligned SEL curriculum to K-12 districts and competes head-to-head with Move This World's Tier 1 video curriculum.
- Aperture Education: Aperture Education offers the DESSA suite of SEL assessments and intervention tools for K-12 schools. It is a direct peer because it already has a partnership/integration with Move This World but also offers overlapping SEL data and intervention capabilities that compete for the same district MTSS budget.
- Rethink Ed: Rethink Ed provides SEL, mental health, and behavior support tools to K-12 schools, including tiered interventions aligned with MTSS. It is a direct peer because it targets the same district buyer with a comparable tiered behavioral health solution.
- Everyday Speech: Everyday Speech delivers video-based SEL and social skills curriculum to PreK-12 schools with a focus on special education and general education classrooms. It is a direct peer because it competes with Move This World using video-led SEL content and tiered classroom supports.
- Presence: Presence provides PreK-12 remote special education and mental health evaluation and teletherapy services. It is a direct peer (and strategic partner) because it operates in the Tier 3 intensive-intervention space that Move This World's MTSS framework relies on, making it both a collaborator and adjacent competitor.
Broad incumbents
- Nearpod: Nearpod is an established K-12 instructional platform with embedded SEL content and interactive video lessons used across U.S. districts. It is a broad incumbent because it offers SEL as part of a much wider digital curriculum footprint rather than specializing in behavioral health like Move This World.
- Imagine Learning: Imagine Learning (formerly Imagine K12/Edgenuity) is a large K-12 EdTech provider with intervention, assessment, and supplemental curriculum products that touch MTSS frameworks. It is a broad incumbent competing for district supplemental and intervention budgets alongside Move This World's tiered offerings.
Emerging players
- xSEL Labs: xSEL Labs publishes SEL curriculum-to-assessment alignment documents and provides supplemental SEL content for K-12. It is an emerging player with partial overlap - it partners with Move This World on alignment work but also offers competing assessment-aligned SEL curriculum.
Others
- Social Solutions: Social Solutions (a Bonterra company) provides case management and outcomes tracking software for human services organizations serving children and families. It is an adjacent peer because it operates in youth and family services software, comparable to Move This World's Family Resources and student services functionality but at a broader social services level.
