An EdTech startup needed a working LMS to show investors. No technical co-founder, no in-house team, no room to wait. Redplum delivered the full platform in 10 weeks - course builder, student tracking, instructor dashboard, and video embedding included.
The founders had a sharp curriculum model and a clear market. What they didn't have was an engineering team - or time. Their investor meeting was scheduled for week 11. They needed a working product to walk into that room with, not a Figma deck.
Off-the-shelf LMS tools were too rigid. Building in-house would take 6 months. They needed a partner who could move fast, own the architecture, and hand over something their team could actually maintain after the engagement ended.
"We had 10 weeks to build something worth showing. Redplum made that happen."Founder, EdTech Startup
Redplum designed and delivered a complete learning management system - not a template, not a configured SaaS tool. A real product with the founder's branding, their content model, and their workflow built in.
A drag-and-drop curriculum editor for instructors to create modules, lessons, and assessments - no technical knowledge required. Supports rich text, images, and embedded media.
Per-student completion tracking, quiz scores, time-on-task, and engagement signals. Data visible to both instructors and students in real time.
A unified view of all courses, enrolled students, submissions, and class-level analytics. Instructors can respond to submissions, leave feedback, and track cohort health from one screen.
Native support for YouTube, Vimeo, and direct-upload video within lessons. Instructors paste a URL or upload a file - the platform handles the rest, including bandwidth and playback state.
The stack was chosen for maintainability and velocity - technologies the founders could hire around, with a clean architecture they could extend without Redplum on retainer.
The platform was live before the investor meeting. The founders walked in with a working product - not a prototype, not a demo environment - a real product with real data and real users.
No commitment. No sales call. Just signal.
