4StudentLives

Based in St. George, Utah, 4StudentLives operates an education technology platform that assists K-12 schools in identifying and managing students who may pose a risk to themselves or others. The company provides software that centralizes behavioral threat assessments and suicide risk evaluations, digitizing safety protocols that many educational institutions traditionally handle through manual documentation. By aggregating risk scores and ongoing management plans into a single dashboard, the system enables school administrators and threat assessment teams to respond to potential incidents before they escalate. To scale its operations and product development, the enterprise recently secured $600,000 in pre-seed funding. This financing round was led by early-stage venture capital firm Startup Ignition Ventures, with direct involvement from the firm's managing partner, John Richards. 4StudentLives was founded by Chief Executive Officer Adam Bangerter.
