Why Indigo?
Our Story
Do you remember the teacher who changed your life? Critical human connections are what make our education system tick.
However, despite a vast array of academic products, schools still lack student engagement alongside a growing mental health crisis. Indigo’s technology platform leverages intelligent data based on a series of assessments to facilitate the human side of education.
As a Colorado-based, women-owned social enterprise, Indigo is committed to equity and a brighter future for all. Our technology tools support middle school, high school, and higher education for learners of all ages and walks of life. Over 50% of our students are traditionally underserved.
What we believe
Mission Statement
Core Values
Everything we do is guided by our core values:
Self-Awareness:
"Know yourself"
Self-awareness is the foundation of all true knowledge. Indigo is about knowing who you are and striving to become the best version of yourself while practicing empathy and appreciation for diversity and others.
Empathy:
"Know your team"
Cultivating the practice of empathy and deep connection with others is a core practice of Indigo. Our program is designed to be the first step in understating different types of people and learning to have empathy for their stories and perspectives.
Freedom:
"Know your possibilites"
Freedom is having the tools and support necessary to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. The purpose of education is to provide meaningful opportunities for people to achieve their best life.
We empower learners and educators

Related Article: Should Schools Teach Personally? January 14th 2015, Written by Anna North We love this article because it’s a balanced and powerful way to describe why Indigo is so important to schools and students. Self-control, curiosity, “grit” — these qualities may seem more personal than academic, but at some schools, they’re now part of the regular curriculum. Some researchers say personality could be even more important than intelligence
