Branching Minds Named to Fortune’s Best Workplaces in New York™ List for the Second Consecutive Year

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, June 9, 2026—Branching Minds, a leading K–12 education technology company, has been named to Fortune’s Best Workplaces in New York™ list for the second consecutive year. The recognition is produced by Great Place to Work® and is based on direct, confidential employee feedback, making it one of the most credible and authentic workplace honors in the country.

This recognition builds on Branching Minds most recent Great Place to Work® Certification, in which 97% of employees affirmed Branching Minds is a great place to work, compared to 57% at a typical U.S. company. Rankings are determined entirely by employee responses to the Trust Index™ survey, measuring the consistency and equity of the workplace experience across all roles and demographics.

“Being recognized for the second year in a row means so much because it reflects something real,” said Maya Gat, Co-Founder and CEO of Branching Minds. “We are a team of people who genuinely care about one another and about the mission we share. Supporting educators and improving outcomes for students is hard, important work, and it takes a community built on trust, empathy, and joy. I’m endlessly grateful to our Branchers for being that community.”

To be eligible for Fortune’s Best Workplaces in New York™, companies must be Great Place to Work-Certified™ and have a significant employee presence in New York State. Rankings are determined entirely by employee responses to the Trust Index™ survey, which measures the consistency and equity of the workplace experience across all roles and demographics.

It’s our Branchers saying: I trust this place, I’m proud of what we do, and I feel I belong here. That’s what we’re always working toward.”
