Gerstman PLLC Launches EdTech Business Development Division, Led by Renowned Education Entrepreneur Jon Hagmaier, to Help Companies Accelerate School District Sales

NEW YORK, July 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Gerstman PLLC, a leading New York law and lobbying firm, today announced the launch of its Education Business Development division, designed to help education technology companies grow revenue by connecting directly with school district decision-makers in New York and nationwide.

The new division will be led by Jon Hagmaier, President of Education Consulting at Gerstman PLLC, a nationally recognized education entrepreneur and EdTech pioneer. Hagmaier co-founded Interactive Achievement, a groundbreaking K–12 assessment company later acquired by PowerSchool, and brings decades of experience helping education companies scale.

"School districts are facing unprecedented challenges and are actively searching for effective solutions. But too many EdTech companies struggle to get their innovations in front of the right people," said Jon Hagmaier, President of Education Consulting at Gerstman PLLC. "Our team knows how districts operate, who the decision-makers are, and what it takes to break through barriers. We're here to help great products reach the classrooms where they're needed most."

Gerstman PLLC's new services will focus on:

• Local Sales & School District Access: Building relationships with superintendents, school boards, and key purchasing officials to accelerate product adoption.
• Regulatory Navigation & Red Tape Removal: Guiding EdTech companies through local procurement requirements, contract negotiations, and district-level compliance processes.
• Strategic Revenue Growth: Delivering actionable strategies to increase market share in the education sector without the delays and pitfalls common in public school sales.

"Winning in K–12 isn't just about having the best product — it's about knowing how to open doors and navigate the red tape that slows down innovation," added Brad Gerstman, Managing Partner of Gerstman PLLC. "With Jon's leadership and our firm's experience in government relations, we're uniquely positioned to help education companies succeed."

This expansion reflects Gerstman PLLC's commitment to delivering innovative, high-impact services across industries, including government relations, commercial real estate, and now education technology.
