Classwise placed 2nd at the 2026 McGill Dobson Cup

We spent weeks in the Dobson bootcamp tightening our pitch and getting honest feedback from mentors who have seen a lot of early-stage companies.[3]

McGill announced the 2026 results on May 15. PN Labs took first in our track, we placed second, and Mascotica ID took third.[1][2]

We built Classwise because we kept seeing the same pattern: teachers spending nights and weekends on papers and rubrics, while students waited days for comments that could have helped on the next assignment.

Grading is not why most people get into teaching. We want to take the repetitive work off their plate so they stay in control of the feedback that matters—and students hear back while it still counts.

The $12,000 goes into making Classwise better: smoother onboarding, stronger LMS connections, and the reliability you need when real grades are on the line.

Thank you to the Dobson Centre team, our bootcamp mentors, National Bank, and the other founders in the cohort who pushed us to sharpen how we tell this story.[3][2]

The competition is over. The work is not. We are still heads-down on the same goal: help teachers grade faster without cutting corners, and get students useful feedback on time.
