About Us

While most AI companies in K-12 focus on student learning and teacher professional development, K12 AI Strategies creates AI products for the system level: the leaders and teams who keep entire school organizations running.

Our first product is an AI agent that evaluates charter school applications with a level of rigor previously reserved for expert human reviewers. Built on the insights of an evaluator network who have collectively reviewed hundreds of charter school applications (new start, renewal, CSP grant, appeals).

K12 AI Strategies was founded by Steve Robbins, a data scientist and finance expert with a background spanning investment banking, technology, and education leadership. Steve has evaluated dozens of charter applications nationwide, coached CFOs of charter networks and districts, and advised state education departments on accountability frameworks. With degrees from Harvard in engineering and education policy, Steve brings both technical and operational expertise to the mission of building AI agents that serve school system leaders.
