Developed as a summer project, WikiRoster allowed high-school students from the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA) and Glenbrook South High School (GBS) to see who else was in their classes. Being wildly popular at the two first pilot schools, with over 88% total enrollment rate at IMSA, WikiRoster decided to expand its reach. WikiRoster LLC. was incorporated in the summer of 2013 with three co-founders. WikiRoster expanded to 17 schools across the United States and by the end of the summer, WikiRoster had over half a million page views and 4,500 accounts registered.
