edit- Origins and growth
ClassRanked was founded at Duke University by Hayden Hall, Max Labaton, and Dilan Trivedi in their junior year.[3] While registering for classes, they spent hours searching to fulfill academic requirements.[5] 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.[12][13]
ClassRanked was initially launched at Duke University.[14] 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.[15][16]
By the end of August 2019, ClassRanked announced its expansion to University of Pennsylvania, UC Berkeley, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Emory University.[17][18] 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.[19][20][21]
