What Consult4Ed Group does

Consult4Ed Group is a woman-owned, private education consulting firm founded in 2018 and headquartered in Ithaca, New York, with 11-50 employees. The firm provides professional consulting services organized into three core areas: Research & Evaluation (original research, case studies, program evaluation, literature reviews); Curriculum Development & Instructional Design (online and blended course design, school operations, graphic design, animation, video/podcast production); and Wellness for Educators (trauma- and equity-informed SEL, leadership coaching, somatic wellness, and the proprietary S.W.I.M. implementation framework).

The firm serves a broad education-sector client base including state and regional education agencies (e.g., Ohio Department of Education and Workforce, Nevada Department of Education), PreK-12 schools (charter, public, private, online), universities (e.g., American University), education-focused nonprofits and think tanks (e.g., CASEL, KnowledgeWorks, ISTE, Gates Foundation), and product-driven firms (e.g., Cengage). The firm does not develop proprietary technology platforms; its deliverables are human-centered consulting work, supported by a content marketing presence via the EDU Café Podcast.

Consult4Ed Group generates revenue through professional services engagements priced on a quote, project-based basis, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based, leveraging an extensive national and international professional network, referrals, and repeat engagements from clients with relationships spanning 10-20+ years. Distribution is exclusively direct, with no reseller or partner channels. The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional or venture capital backing, and operates as a founder-led, woman-owned business.
