Making a Better Life More Accessible

Who We Are
Our Mission

Who we are

Ocelots are wild cats. They are pathfinders and readily adapt to their environment. We see ocelots in who we are and what we do: empower administrators and advisors to reach every student and answer every question.

Ocelot (previously FATV) has taken several forms both in name and in the technology we create. From creating financial aid publications, to producing easy-to-digest videos, to our AI communication platform, Ocelot has not just kept up with the times, but strived to move higher education forward.

Our Mission
Deep Experience

Striving for higher education

Many of us were previously higher education professionals. Some of us are AI technologists. And bakers, coaches, homebrewers, parents, dog parents, football fanatics (both American and European), travelers, guitar players, and a whole lot more too.

Our Values

What we value

We’re an adventurous group. We play A-UNiT.
