Who we are

Timely is your home for secondary master scheduling featuring AI optimization and support from a team of educators who know and have lived scheduling. Not only does Timely save time and headache, it unlocks resources so district and charter leaders can build a schedule that drives staffing and budget efficiencies.

We founded Timely to build the tool we wish we'd had when we were in schools -- hoping to save school leaders hundreds of hours of wasted time while allowing district leaders to enable their academic, budget and staffing priorities. Our solution addresses the needs of school-based employees who toil away building schedules and central office employees who need visibility into them.

After completing a successful pilot during the 2022-23 school year, we have scaled our impact across the country. Through a lean approach, we've achieved impressive growth - 8.0x and 3.6x ARR increases in consecutive years - with extraordinary renewal rates (95% logo retention, 96% gross revenue retention). Today, Timely is serving schools across 14 states and Washington D.C. This growth has been driven by our strong product-market fit, deep understanding of education, and commitment to customer success.
