The Deal
- Bought By
- Chris Lueck and Ben Knoll
- Year
- Not published by any primary source
- A backer's investment year of 2021 in the holding company, which already contained both this business and a sister company by then, so it bounds the purchase without dating it. The searchers' own fund site no longer resolves. The one filing under this company's name is a founder-era raise five years before the searchers arrived. An aggregator's page title carries a September 2021 date field behind a wall, a label and not a sentence.
- Vehicle
- Alamar Partners, his second search fund, backed by Search Fund Partners and NCL Partners
- Kind
- Software
A Charlotte credentialing and student-records business serving school districts.
What Happened Next
Sold to Instructure in July 2024, which named Alamar Partners as the seller in its own release.
Bought at exit by Instructure, whose page carries that firm's own announcement of it.

These sources name who runs the business and when the firm invested, rather than saying in a sentence that the searchers bought it. The pairing rests on the row's other sources: the card's own chief executive field agrees with them. The index host's card, names one as chief executive and the other as president beside its own 2021 investment; nothing on it says who bought the company.
