Gradescope, Inc.

Gradescope is an education technology company based in San Francisco, California, founded in 2014 by Arjun Singh, Pieter Abbeel, and Sergey Karayev. The company builds software tools that allow instructors at colleges and universities to grade paper-based, digital, and programming assignments more efficiently, using machine learning to group similar student responses for batch grading.

The platform supports a range of assignment types including handwritten exams, bubble sheets, and code submissions. It is used primarily in higher education, with adoption at universities across the United States and internationally. Instructors can provide structured feedback at scale, and students receive annotated, scored work through the platform.

In 2018, Turnitin, a provider of academic integrity software, acquired Gradescope for an undisclosed sum. Following the acquisition, Gradescope continued to operate as a distinct product within Turnitin's portfolio. The company had raised seed funding prior to the acquisition, though the total amount was not publicly disclosed.
