Clever: About More than 60% of U.S. K–12 schools use Clever, including 95 of the largest 100 districts. That’s 15 million students logging in with Clever monthly! We are proud to work with the education community to bring a lifetime of opportunity within reach of every student. Clever was born of co-founder Dan Carroll’s frustration as a school tech director in Denver. His plans to use technology to save teachers time and personalize learning were stymied by countless CSV files and forgotten passwords. Dan recalls, “I wanted to be an innovator, but I got stuck being a human API.” Software has the potential to empower teachers and create new ways to learn. But one thing must happen first. Everyone must be able to log in—quickly and securely. To solve Dan’s problem, we built a single sign-on portal that now helps 60% of U.S. K–12 schools spend more time learning and less time logging in.	SMART: About At our core, we offer a student management software system which has been web-based for almost 20 years. This means you’re able to access it either sitting in your office, or under the shade of a cabana on the beach! Once you’ve gained access, you’re presented with a Swiss Army Knife of a system. You can manage prospective, active, and graduate students along with keeping a close eye on their personal information, documents, financial payments, school performances of grades and attendance, and even financial aid (if you’re into that stuff)! While we usually stay humble, we definitely love showing off our SMARTTime product! Toss the clipboard and pen aside as it’s an electronic attendance system that allows for students to easily check in/out with a fingerprint or code. We also have key fobs to make checking in contactless as well! Not only that, we also offer a student portal system.
