CollegeNET

What CollegeNET does

CollegeNET, Inc. is a privately held Portland, Oregon-based software company founded in 1985 that provides cloud-based SaaS solutions to colleges and universities. Its core platform, Series25®, is an enterprise scheduling and resource management system that streamlines academic scheduling, eliminates double bookings, and automates communication for space, classroom, and event management. The product suite includes 25Live for event scheduling and facility booking, Connect25 for student organization management, Schedule25 for academic scheduling, Lynx for Student Information System (SIS) integrations, and X25 for analytics and visualization.

The company monetizes primarily through annual subscription contracts with higher education institutions, supplemented by professional services for implementation and training. Distribution is exclusively via direct enterprise field sales targeting university administrators, registrars, and facilities managers. CollegeNET has built deep integration partnerships with Workday Student and other SIS platforms, creating switching costs through real-time data synchronization. The company has also expanded into AI-powered video interviewing services for admissions and hiring, backed by supercomputing infrastructure funded through a $12.5 million credit facility from CIBC Innovation Banking in 2021.

CollegeNET serves more than a dozen named institutions including Cornell University, Brown University, Johns Hopkins University, University of California Riverside, University of Miami, and University of Arkansas. The company has 51-100 employees and has received strategic investments from Peak Rock Capital (2023) and Rubicon (2025) following earlier funding from 3i Group ($10M in 2000) and the CIBC debt facility. Its geographic footprint is North America-only, and its growth trajectory reflects a mature vertical SaaS operator investing in product expansion rather than aggressive scaling.

Direct peers

• Coursedog: Curriculum management and academic scheduling platform for colleges and universities, directly competing with CollegeNET on academic scheduling, SIS integration, and resource optimization.
• Ad Astra Information Systems: Provides academic scheduling and classroom optimization software for higher-ed institutions, competing head-to-head with CollegeNET's Schedule25 and Series25 in the same buyer segment.
• EMS Software (Accruent): Enterprise campus event and facility scheduling platform widely used at universities, overlapping directly with CollegeNET's 25Live event scheduling and room/space booking capabilities.
• HireVue: AI-powered video interviewing platform used in admissions and hiring; directly comparable to CollegeNET's AI video interviewing service line funded by the CIBC credit facility.

Broad incumbents

• Ellucian: Largest SIS vendor in higher education; competes broadly with CollegeNET through PowerCampus/Banner and represents the dominant incumbent whose platform CollegeNET integrates with via Lynx.
• Workday (Workday Student): Cloud-native SIS and ERP for higher education; CollegeNET's Lynx product is built on Workday Student integration, making Workday both a critical partner and a structural threat if it absorbs scheduling natively.

• Jenzabar: Higher-ed SIS and ERP vendor serving small-to-mid colleges; comparable to CollegeNET in target segment and competes for the same registrar/facilities budgets.
