Two years ago, dormmates Justin Wenig and Nicholas Diao struggled to get into a popular computer science class at Columbia University .

“Think of it,” Wenig said, “as a Superhuman for class scheduling systems.”Today, Coursedog announced it has raised $4.2 million from a crop of investors, including First Round’s Josh Kopelman.

Investors in the company include FoundersX Venture, EFund and Jinal Jhaveri, the former CEO of SchoolMint, a school enrollment startup.

Wenig also noted they cater to a mix of public and private schools, with public schools often “being the most innovative.”“A lot of states offer incentive-based funding,” Wenig said.

Coursedog plans to scale to 100 more universities in the next year, and will use the new funding to help “grow up” its production. | To read full story, visit https://startuparound.com/read/1583782207.4261022/Coursedog-lands-$4.2-million-to-make-class-scheduling-smarter-–-TechCrunch?ref=audio_experience
