It took a while. CloudUp was a pivot from LearnBoost which was a product that they had been running for years.

Yep. LearnBoost was incorporated from my dorm room on Jan 4, 2010 - but I had been working on it on my own for months before the incorporation. Then I raised most of our seed round, merged with Guillermo and Thianh... from which we built LB, a huge open source presence in Node.js, tried everything possible to grow on the edtech side, and then launched Cloudup in June 2013
Amazing work on LearnBoost and congratulations on the acquisition! I'm on the PTO board at my son's elementary school and would love to get his school on the LearnBoost platform. Before pitching to the administration, is the platform completely Node.js? Is there a paid support option? Is it self-hosted or hosted on LearnBoost? Do you plan to continue development going forward?

Thanks.
