Skyepack's Origin Story

In 2012 a team of researchers, faculty and entrepreneurs connected to Purdue University founded Skyepack with the mission to make education more affordable, accessible and effective. Through a partnership with Purdue, Skyepack utilized technology and learnings from Purdue’s Studio Team, a multidisciplinary team of researchers, developers and faculty dedicated to creating solutions to education’s toughest challenges. In Skyepack’s earliest years it focused primarily on helping faculty transition from traditional textbooks to dynamic digital curriculum based on a combination of faculty created content, university created content and open educational resources.

To date, Skyepack hosts these alternative, customized resources for 100’s of campuses serving 1000’s of students - saving them over $10M. Seed funding was initially provided to help start Skyepack through a combination of Elevate Ventures, M25, Purdue University Innovation Funds, and angel investors. Today, Skyepack provides a comprehensive combination of products and services that provide unique educational solutions to K12, Higher Education, Industry and the Nonprofit sectors.
