Show My Homework

What Show My Homework does

Show My Homework is a London-based education technology company founded in 2011 that develops and operates the Satchel One learning platform. The company rebranded from the Show My Homework name to Satchel One to reflect a broader product positioning beyond single-purpose homework management. Satchel One is delivered as a web application and mobile apps, providing schools, teachers, students, and parents with digital tools for homework assignment creation, submission, tracking, and educational communication. The platform is positioned as a unified learning platform connecting the multi-sided school ecosystem of administrators, educators, learners, and families.

The company operates a B2B2C go-to-market, selling primarily to UK schools and educational institutions that then onboard teachers, students, and parents as end users. The underlying technology stack relies on standard SaaS infrastructure including Salesforce for CRM, Intercom for live chat support, OneTrust for consent management, and Google reCAPTCHA for security. The company has 51-100 employees and describes itself as a global technology startup, though the bulk of evidence points to UK K-12 market concentration. Detailed pricing models, contract structures, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

The company's funding history is thin, with one disclosed early-stage round from Passion Capital in January 2013 with no reported dollar amount. No subsequent funding rounds, acquisitions, or major strategic transactions are visible in the available data. Founder and CEO Naimish Gohil remains in leadership alongside Director of Operations Greg Young and Head of Marketing Louise Raw. The company maintains an active operating status with a functioning website, mobile applications, and enterprise-grade vendor integrations.
