Credentials Solutions

Brentwood Associates entered the post-secondary transcript market in 2018 through our initial acquisition of Credentials Solutions. We believed we could build the largest network for academic institutions, professional organizations, and learners worldwide to exchange academic and professional credentials. Our thesis included consolidating several players in the market, investing heavily in product innovation, and driving customer excellence. In 2020, Brentwood combined Credentials Solutions with similarly sized Parchment, more than doubling the size of our network. In partnership with ed tech visionary Matthew Pittinsky, Ph.D., CEO of Parchment, we executed on a shared vision to create a unified platform that integrates the issuing and receiving of credentials, backed by a customer service model that puts the learner as its core.
 
Today we announce that Parchment has been acquired by Instructure for $835 million in an all-cash transaction.
 
Amazing vision, planning and measured execution goes into generating an outcome of this magnitude in turbulent market conditions.  
 
The results: During our hold period, revenue quintupled, compounding at greater than 30% per year, and EBITDA increased more than seven-fold. Parchment’s customers and learners have never been happier.
 
As we reflect, it always comes back to the caliber of the management team that drives vision and execution of the ship. We thank Matthew Pittinsky and the leadership team at Parchment for its partnership with Brentwood in building to this outcome.  Kevin Martin, Jen Ziegenmier, Emily Lane, CPA, Jerome Snell, Negin Kamangar, Jason Weaver and each Parchie that contributed to the journey.
 
We also thank our LPs for your support entrusting us with your capital to drive this thesis during some truly unique times, including a global pandemic.
 
We are grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute to Parchment’s success, and we look forward to seeing the company extend its Award and Pathways solutions in the years to come. Instructure, you’ve acquired an exceptional business!
