About Top Hat

Top Hat builds an interactive teaching platform for higher education. Its tools include live polling and in-class questions, attendance tracking, interactive textbooks and assessments, student insights, and Ace, an AI-powered study assistant. The platform integrates with learning management systems for roster and grade syncing.

Its customers are colleges and universities, whose instructors use the platform in their courses, and students, who can buy access directly for one term, one year or four years. Institutions can also adopt the platform campus-wide. Interactive textbooks are sold as a combined price with platform access.

Top Hat was founded in 2009 by Mike Silagadze and Mohsen Shahini, who started the company in an apartment near the University of Waterloo. Its headquarters is in Toronto, Canada. The company states that more than 1,200 institutions and 3 million students use the platform, that it has 400+ employees in North America, and that it has raised $225 million in funding to date. Current openings include sales representative roles in Milwaukee, St. Louis and Massachusetts, and engineering and product management roles in Canada.

Product: Top Hat platform with live polling, attendance, interactive textbooks, assessments, LMS integration and the Ace AI study assistant.
