What Burbio.com does

Burbio, Inc. (operating as Burbio.com) is a U.S.-based PreK-12 education intelligence SaaS company headquartered in Pelham, New York, founded in 2013 by Julie Roche (CEO) and Dennis Roche. The company aggregates fragmented public information on K-12 school districts — including board meeting documents, checkbook registers, strategic plans, RFPs, budgets, bond records, superintendent turnover, ESSER III spending plans, and state-level grants — into a unified intelligence platform aimed at EdTech vendors, education suppliers, and education-focused sales teams who need to identify district decision-makers, monitor buying signals, and track competitive activity.

The core product, the PreK-12 Intelligence Hub, combines prospecting and competitive monitoring dashboards, District Profile dashboards, district- and state-level custom alerts, and an AI-powered District Research Agent that performs category-specific retrieval and synthesis over Burbio's proprietary knowledge base. Data is consumable inside the platform, pushed via Quick Links, or delivered through a CRM-facing API. The company expanded its surface in 2026 with seven new dataset products covering district decision-maker contacts, state funding sources, keyword and competitive signals, superintendent turnover, bond records, ESSER III spending details, and school calendar insights. The Burbio School Tracker newsletter provides a content-driven top-of-funnel channel, and the company's data has been cited in major media outlets including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Bloomberg, Politico, and NPR.

Burbio operates a sales-led, subscription-based revenue model with non-public pricing, driving enterprise adoption through Calendly-scheduled demos (run largely via co-founder Dennis Roche) and CRM-integrated workflow delivery. The company is privately held, has 11-50 employees, has raised approximately $2.83M in disclosed equity funding across rounds since 2014 (with Hudson Valley Startup Fund as a notable investor), and shows no recent outside capital raises, suggesting a bootstrapped, capital-efficient operating posture.

Direct peers

• SchoolStatus: SchoolStatus provides K-12 communication, attendance, and data/intelligence tools for districts and the vendors selling to them. It is one of the closest direct comps to Burbio's PreK-12 sales-and-account intelligence motion, particularly around district-level signals and stakeholder visibility.
• K12 Insight: K12 Insight focuses on K-12 market research, parent/community engagement and stakeholder insights. It overlaps with Burbio on the PreK-12 market intelligence layer used by district vendors and education-focused sales teams.
• MDR (Market Data Retrieval): MDR is a long-standing K-12 education marketing and contact database, supplying district and educator lists and intent data to EdTech marketers and sales teams. It is directly comparable to Burbio's School District Contacts and prospecting use cases for EdTech vendors.

Emerging players

• EdBuild: EdBuild aggregates and analyzes school district finance and funding data. While non-commercial, its datasets overlap with Burbio's ESSER III Spending Details, Bonds and State Funding Sources products, and it represents an emerging reference point for school finance intelligence.
• Allovue: Allovue provides K-12 budgeting and resource-management software to districts. It competes less with Burbio's intelligence layer and more with the downstream finance data Burbio covers, but addresses the same district spending/budgeting buying center.

Broad incumbents

• PowerSchool: PowerSchool is the dominant K-12 SIS and broader EdTech platform. While its core is school-operations software rather than EdTech-vendor intelligence, it owns comparable district data assets that could be repurposed to challenge Burbio from the buyer side.
• Frontline Education: Frontline is a broad-incumbent K-12 administrative software portfolio (HR, finance, special education). It is not a direct intelligence competitor but sits in the same buyer ecosystem and could expand into district intelligence over time.

Others

• ZoomInfo: ZoomInfo is a horizontal sales-intelligence and contact-data platform. It is not PreK-12 specialized but competes for the same EdTech-vendor marketing/sales budget that Burbio targets, and serves as a benchmark for vertical-data SaaS economics.
• 6sense: 6sense is a horizontal B2B revenue-intelligence and intent-data platform used by EdTech and other B2B sales teams. It represents the broader category of AI-driven sales intelligence that Burbio's District Research Agent and Signals products increasingly compete against.
• Apollo.io: Apollo.io is a horizontal sales-intelligence and engagement platform popular with growth-stage SaaS companies. While not PreK-12 specific, it serves many of the same EdTech-vendor buyers and competes for the prospecting/contact-data portion of Burbio's value prop.
