ClassRanked is an American educational technology company based in Salt Lake City, Utah that offers higher education enterprise software for course reviews, rankings, and grade distribution data. The platform was founded at Duke University.[1]
History
[edit]ClassRanked was founded at Duke University by Hayden Hall, Max Labaton, and Dilan Trivedi in their junior year.[2] Hall created the website, Labaton handled marketing, and Trivedi managed the company's finances.[3] While registering for classes, they spent hours searching to fulfill academic requirements.[4] Hall proposed building a site to streamline and automate this process, coding and developing a platform.[5] It combined course evaluations, grade distribution data, and user reviews.[1]
ClassRanked was initially launched at Duke University.[6] By the end of its first week, ClassRanked had over 1,200 user reviews and within a month was being actively used by over 80% of Duke’s student body.[4][7]
By the end of August 2019, ClassRanked announced its expansion to University of Pennsylvania, UC Berkeley, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Emory University.[8][9] As of October 2020, the company had expanded to over 350 colleges and universities.[10]
