Driven by a mission to create an impact in education
We believe in the power of collaboration
Our mission is to transform K-12 education by uniting the best and brightest minds in the field—educators, district leaders, edtech innovators, researchers, and investors. Through collective effort and strong partnerships, we can close achievement gaps and create a brighter future for all students.
Ryan Patenaude’s Journey in EdTech
Ryan's passion for closing critical equity and achievement gaps stems from his family's deep roots in public education. He's driven to make a tangible difference in the lives of students; he believes the best way to do that is by driving positive change within the education market itself.
Ryan founded RP Impact Partners to share the hard-won lessons learned from 16 years in edtech, including the successes, failures, and unique perspectives gained while building one of the largest brands in the market.
