AI-Driven Technology
Making a Better Life More Accessible
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 student engagement platform, Ocelot has not just kept up with the times, but strived to move higher education forward.
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.

Attitude
We are glass half full and can do.

Understanding
We seek to understand, are curious, and listen.

Nail it
We take ownership when no-one is looking.

Team
We work to look after each other.
