ListEdTech is a leading market research firm specializing in tracking IT systems used in education. Our mission is to empower colleges, universities, consultants, edtech companies, and private equity firms with data-driven insights to navigate the evolving education technology landscape and make informed decisions.
Our History
Our journey began in 2014 when Justin Ménard, a data analyst and IT manager at a Canadian university, recognized the pivotal role of data in both daily operations and long-term institutional strategy. Noticing a lack of comprehensive databases on IT systems in academia, he decided to create one himself.
From the start, the goal was clear: to become the go-to resource for institutions, consultants, and companies seeking reliable data to guide their decision-making. Initially focused on higher education, the project quickly expanded. By 2018, K-12 school districts and their IT systems were incorporated into the database, broadening ListEdTech’s scope and impact.
Where We Are Today
A decade later, ListEdTech has built the most extensive databases for IT systems in education. Our pace of growth continues to accelerate. In our first year, adding a new product category to the database took an average of six months. By 2021, thanks to a dedicated global team of over 20 employees across Asia, Europe, and North America, we reduced that time to under 30 days.
Our commitment to data quality is unmatched. Each month, we validate nearly 3,000 data points to ensure a 95% accuracy rate, making our insights a trusted resource for industry leaders worldwide.
