ClassDojo is a fast-growing software application that’s helping students and teachers succeed in the classroom. Although the company’s headquarters are in San Francisco, California, the application reaches teachers and students on a global scale. It was created during 2011 by Liam Don and Sam Chaudhary in hopes to innovate the education system through classroom activities. More than 20,000 teachers are able to help the application’s efficiency by providing consistent feedback of ClassDojo’s performance. Since the company was created, it has been translated into more than 30 languages throughout 180 countries. More than 9 million children are learning through the ClassDojo platform every day.

Another reason for the platform’s growing user base and success is that it is free. The platform allows users download the app for free and then make in-app purchases based on needs. In a recent interview, the cofounders mention that K-12 education has shifted significantly over the years, but most classroom structures remain traditional. This was the foundation for establishing ClassDojo. After securing a key investment from Silicon Valley’s Imagine K12, Liam Don and San Chaudhary spent time networking with school teachers in order to gain insight on supporting students’ growth.

One of their secondary goals was to make kids excited about the education process. Early versions of the platform allowed students to give their personal feedback. This played an important role in ClassDojo’s growth. In the proceeding six years, the company will raise more than $30 million from various investors, increasing it’s valuation to $100 million. The company employs 30 individuals who all work out of the San Francisco SoMa location. Chief Executive Officer, Muhammed Chaudhary, says the company’s overall goal now is to become the most commonly used behavioral management software available. He believes the application’s potential reaches far beyond academics.
