Our story

How we built it

After a few weeks of coding in the basement (really, it was a basement), Matt returned with a prototype. With 2 weeks left in the school year, the 5th-grade teachers began awarding points digitally. Teachers loved that they saved an average of two hours per week of paperwork. LiveSchool was born!

In the company's first year, a mix of public, charter, and alternative schools signed up, a trend that continues to this day.

How it started

Meet Matt Rubinstein, LiveSchool’s CEO. In 2011, Matt was a Middle School teacher in Nashville, where he helped his school run their weekly “paycheck” system: students earn paper bucks for positive, and they cash them in for rewards and events.

Students loved the system, but the teachers struggled to manage the paperwork and manual tracking, which left everyone frustrated.

Now & the future
