LISTedTECH

What LISTedTECH does

ListEdTech Inc., founded in 2014 by Justin Ménard and headquartered under Ontario governing law, operates a subscription-based education technology market research platform that tracks IT system implementations across 80,000+ institutions, 2,200+ edtech companies, and 4,300+ products in 195 countries. Its core product, the ListEdTech Portal, is a self-serve web application that exposes current and historical implementation, vendor, and product data across 30+ product categories — including Student Information Systems, Learning Management Systems, CRM, ERP, and Identity and Access Management — covering 37,817 higher education institutions and 43,789 K-12 schools and districts. Underlying technology combines machine-learning filtering of daily public-data alerts with a 20+ person globally distributed team (Asia for data entry, North America for sales, content, and platform development, Europe for support), producing 300,000+ data lines and 3.5M+ data points validated monthly to a stated 95% accuracy rate.

The business runs on a freemium-to-paid portal model with annual subscription tiers segmented for institutions (Standard, Premium) and companies (Basic, K-12, HigherEd, Full), supplemented by transactional revenue from individual data-line purchases and standalone product-category reports sold via Stripe. Go-to-market is hybrid: a self-serve signup flow with free access limited to data 8+ years old drives PLG, while a North American direct sales team — supported by an Outlook-integrated demo booking calendar — targets enterprise institutions, consultants, and private equity firms. The firm maintains active booth and keynote presence at major industry events (HEUG Alliance, Ellucian Live, InstructureCon, Anthology Together, JAM, EDUCAUSE, AACRAO) and operates a content marketing engine comprising a weekly newsletter, the ListEdTech Podcast, webinars, a 50+-category blog, and a dedicated documentation site at docs.listedtech.com, positioning itself as a neutral third-party data source with anti-bias controls across vendor coverage.

Direct peers

• HolonIQ: Global education and climate-tech market intelligence platform. HolonIQ is the closest direct competitor — it also sells subscriptions to a curated, data-driven intelligence platform serving education institutions, EdTech companies, and investors worldwide.
• EdSurge: EdTech product directory and news platform serving educators and EdTech companies. Overlaps with ListEdTech's directory-style product coverage of EdTech vendors and products used by schools, though EdSurge skews toward editorial content and reviews rather than structured market data.
• EdTech Impact: EdTech reviews and product database serving schools and EdTech companies, with deep coverage in Australia and the UK. Operates a similar marketplace/information model connecting educators with vetted EdTech products, comparable in function to ListEdTech's product and vendor tracking.

Broad incumbents

• Encoura (Eduventures): Higher education research, advisory, and enrollment-solutions provider operating the Eduventures brand. A more established, broader-incumbent player in the higher-ed market intelligence space, with longer-tenured research relationships and additional professional services that ListEdTech does not offer.
• CB Insights: Market intelligence platform covering private companies, technologies, and emerging trends. Not EdTech-focused, but a useful comparable for the SaaS market-data platform business model, including subscription tiers, dashboards, and PE/corporate-buyer monetization that mirrors ListEdTech's commercial approach.
• PitchBook: PE/VC market data platform owned by Morningstar. ListEdTech explicitly targets PE firms as a customer segment for EdTech due diligence; PitchBook is the benchmark for what a successful B2B market-intelligence subscription platform looks like in the PE buyer persona.
• Crunchbase: Company and funding database platform covering technology companies. Similar freemium-to-paid SaaS data platform model, with comparable use cases (market sizing, competitive intelligence, vendor identification) for ListEdTech's institutional and vendor buyer segments.
