Our take
Higher Education is in crisis. The cost of education is skyrocketing, while only 33% of students in the US graduate in four years, and issues of equity and access are worsening. A big part of this can be put down to a lack of proper scheduling: 75% of universities operate entirely on legacy, on-premise software, resulting in millions of frustrated students saddled with heaps of debt.
Coursedog has set out to solve this. An integrated academic operations platform that helps higher education maximize operational efficiency, its strategy is based on market disruption, using data innovation to accelerate student success. Founded in 2018, it has partnered with over 200 higher education institutions, providing its curriculum-mapping software to more than 1.2 million students in total.
The global curriculum-mapping software market has really started to pick up in recent years, and Coursedog will face stiff competition from the likes of Top Hat, Kiddom, and PlanbookEdu. That being said, Coursedog's focus on accelerating product development has it well placed to continue poaching market share.
