Combined company to provide educators with deep insight on district technology initiatives

SAN JOSE, Calif.--()--Securly, Inc. (“Securly”), the student safety and wellness pioneer and a portfolio company of Golden Gate Capital, today announced that it has acquired Dyknow, LLC (“Dyknow”), to create an alliance of two educational technology industry leaders dedicated to K-12 student success.

Founded in 2003, Dyknow has almost two decades of experience empowering educators through the effective use of technology.

Securly also intends to commit significant resources to continuing to build upon and expand Dyknow’s powerful Device Impact Measurement solution.

“Our combination with Dyknow was born out of a shared goal to help students reach their full potential with the power of technology,” stated Bharath Madhusudan, CEO of Securly. “Dyknow’s leading solutions are a natural extension for our portfolio, and we look forward to working with the Dyknow team to help our customers and partners unlock the power of educational technology to drive better student outcomes.”
