We built Timely because we’ve lived the problem

200+

Combined years in K-12 experience

Countless

Master schedules built by hand prior to Timely

25+

School districts our staff has worked in

Our team includes former district leaders, school leaders, counselors, and teachers who spent years working inside the systems we now help improve.

Before joining Timely, our staff built schedules by hand—in spreadsheets, on whiteboards, and through the legacy tools that made a hard process even harder. That’s what drives us to build something better.
