Clever (YC S12) Lands $3M, Now In 2000 Schools

Clever is an SIS: student information system. The SIS we use at my school is a web app that integrates all the database functions you might associate with schools: scheduling, grading, attendance, discipline, etc.

Ours is ugly but functional.

edit: Apparently I misunderstood what I read. Sorry.

Thanks for the comment, pflats. We've seen our fair share of ugly SISes!

Clever actually isn't an SIS, though--we provide an API/integration layer that sits on top of the SIS.

We think SISes are great at a lot of things (state reporting, for example). Providing a nice interface for developers is not one of those things.

I definitely see the appeal here. Do you have any plans to give schools an on-site solution, rather than use your servers? Do you do this? Your site is rather light on details.
