About Coursedog

Our mission is to break down barriers to opportunity for students. 

Coursedog provides higher ed with modern technology solutions – empowering institutions, students, and communities across the globe.

Coursedog’s founding story is rooted in the desire to help students achieve their highest goals. In 2018, Coursedog’s co-founders and then college students, Justin Wenig and Nick Diao, were frustrated by how difficult it was to get into the classes they needed to graduate on time. After speaking with higher education provosts and registrars to better understand how academic scheduling works, they came away with a vision that permeates the company today.

Coursedog has raised $113M total capital as a remote-first, hyper-growth startup currently backed by JMI Equity, and with past investments from YC and First Round Capital. We were recently ranked in Forbes top 500 US startup employers and our employee engagement scores rank in the top 5% of tech companies.
