Meet Otus

Otus was designed by educators to simplify the way schools manage data, assessments, and instruction. We empower teachers, administrators, and families with the tools and insights they need to support every student’s success—all in one place.

Our Mission

Otus provides the tools and data educators, students, and families need to monitor and improve performance.

Our Vision

Ensure every educator and the school community has the insights they need to make a difference in students’ lives.

It all started in a middle school classroom

It all started in a middle school classroom

Back in 2010, two middle school teachers secured funding for 1:1 devices in their classroom, hoping to transform the way they personalized learning.

But instead of solving problems, the devices amplified the bigger issue—the lack of connection across the many programs they used.

It quickly became clear they needed one tool to unify everything. The problem? The tool didn’t exist yet.

That’s when the idea for Otus was born.

One of those teachers was Chris Hull, who co-founded Otus to solve this problem.

As Otus has grown, Chris has remained deeply committed to ensuring that the platform stays true to its purpose: helping educators, students, and families succeed.

Today, Otus supports over 1 million learners across 200 districts by providing the tools and insights to monitor and improve student performance.

Meet Chris Hull
Co-Founder and President of Otus

As a former educator, Chris understands the challenges and rewards of teaching firsthand— an experience that continues to inspire his work at Otus.

His journey from the classroom to founding Otus was driven by a passion for education and a desire to make a meaningful difference.

Chris believes that every student deserves the opportunity to succeed —as both a founder and a parent, this mission hits close to home. His own children’s school district uses Otus, giving him a unique perspective as both a creator and user of the platform.

This dual role reinforces his commitment to ensuring Otus continues to provide the tools educators and families need to make a meaningful difference in students’ lives.
