History[edit]
Aceable was founded in 2013[3][4][5][7] by CEO Blake Garrett.[4][5] It received its first official state approval through the Texas Department of Public Safety.[2][3] In 2015, Aceable raised $4.7 million in seed funding.[5][6][8] In 2016, the company received $4 million in Series A funding that was co-led by Silverton Partners and Floodgate Ventures.[1][2][3][4][6][7][9] The company has also received funding from Capital Factory.[3][10] As of November 2017, Aceable has raised close to $10 million in total funding.[7][10] Aceable is operational within Texas, California, Florida, Ohio, and Illinois[2][4] with plans to expand to Georgia, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Nevada.[6][7]
Programs[edit]
Aceable is best-known for their online driver's education classes, including courses in defensive driving, student driver's ed, employee training, and corporate compliance.[3][6] High school students who finish the driver's ed course with the Aceable app receive a certification of completion.[2] The certificate is then taken to the student's local DMV wherein they undergo a driving test and receive a learner's permit.[3][4] The app comes with parental controls that allows parents to monitor the student's progress.[11] Aceable's driving apps are available on the web as well as Android and iOS platforms.[3][6][9]
