Platform
ClassRanked offers higher education enterprise software (SaaS) solutions for course evaluation, reporting, and survey management. The platform utilizes AI, student and course attributes, trend analysis, and comparisons across colleges to provide solutions for faculty insights and ease of use.

Origins and growth
ClassRanked was founded at Duke University by Hayden Hall, Max Labaton, and Dilan Trivedi in their junior year. While registering for classes, they spent hours searching to fulfill academic requirements. Hall proposed building a site to streamline and automate this process, coding and developing a platform that combined course evaluations, grade distribution data, and user reviews.

ClassRanked was initially launched at Duke University. 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.

By the end of August 2019, ClassRanked announced its expansion to University of Pennsylvania, UC Berkeley, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Emory University. As of April 2021, the company had expanded over 400 colleges and universities with data from courses taught by more than 300,000 faculty members.

SaaS product expansion
The company announced in 2022 that it was shifting resources and focus to building higher education enterprise software (SaaS) solutions for course evaluation, reporting, and survey management. The new software platform was rolled out nationwide to universities the following year.
