ClassWallet’s patented digital wallet technology enables state agencies and school districts to disburse public funds quickly and compliantly while automating the purchasing and reimbursement lifecycle. The platform is used across 32 states and helps clients realize the full potential of over $2.7 billion in public funds. ClassWallet operates an integrated marketplace of retailers and service providers, including Amazon, Best Buy, Home Depot, Michaels, Office Depot, Scholastic, Staples and Varsity Tutors. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Hollywood, Florida, the company says it reduces the time and cost of existing solutions while ensuring compliance and mitigating potential fraud. ClassWallet has been recognized on the Inc. 5000 and Deloitte Technology Fast 500 lists for its rapid growth. The recent $95 million institutional growth capital investment is intended to support continued expansion and efforts to reshape how state and local government agencies do business. ClassWallet is a Hollywood, Fla.-based fintech led by founder and CEO Jamie Rosenberg that provides school districts with a spend management platform that reconciles and pays for transactions in a cashless, paperless and automated manner. Its software streamlines manual tasks such as collecting receipts, reconciling invoices and statements, making vendor and reimbursement payments, and performing data entry required to meet annual audit requirements. The company is used in over 2,000 schools across 15 states. ClassWallet raised $2.3M in the reported round and has raised over $7M to date. It intends to use the new funds to expand product offerings and add to its business development and support staff. ClassWallet provides an end-to-end digital solution to disburse, track and manage school system funds, combining funds disbursement, e-commerce, a reloadable debit card and tracking in an integrated platform. The company is used in over 850 schools and is working with large districts including Los Angeles Unified and Polk County; it is also gaining traction with university athletic departments and states for education savings account management. ClassWallet says it reduces transaction costs that historically reached about 40% to less than 5% and shortens the fund-spend-track lifecycle from weeks to same day. The company planned a platform release in January 2017 that includes a solution to allow schools to accept cash payments from parents without bringing cash into school buildings or classrooms, and several districts are already working to implement that solution. In partnership with Brentwood Associates, ClassWallet will accelerate its product roadmap and invest in sales and marketing to expand distribution. ClassWallet operates a platform that enables school systems and related organizations to disburse and track funds. The platform is used by groups and districts including Harrington Park School District, Albuquerque Public Schools Education Foundation, Reading is Fundamental and Broward Education Foundation. More than 40 retailers, including Amazon, Office Depot, Best Buy, School Specialty and Scholastic, accept ClassWallet as a form of payment. The company plans to release a new version of its platform this summer that will add a reloadable debit card and an API for vendor integration. ClassWallet has raised a total of $2.53M and intends to use new proceeds to accelerate sales and advance its product roadmap. The company is led by founder and CEO Jamie Rosenberg and is based in Miami.
