About Lazarus

We've spent our careers building software that makes people's work easier in places where it matters: fintech, search at scale, and the service businesses that depend on both. We're entrepreneurs first, and we know what it takes to run an organization that serves people well.

Why we built Lazarus

Schools have been underserved for a long time. Most school software is either overbuilt and priced for big institutions, or stitched together from forms, spreadsheets, and payment links. We saw an industry where outside know-how could change a lot, so we brought it: software that's beautiful, functional, affordable, and intentional.

Lazarus started with the part of school that decides everything else, getting families enrolled and tuition paid. We put all of our attention there, and we're building out from it.

Systems, not features

Anyone can bolt on a button. We design how applications, households, billing, and events work together, so a family's information is entered once and every part of your school uses it. That's the difference between software with a long feature list and software that feels like it was made for the way schools actually run.

Small and fast on purpose

We're a small team, and that's a choice. There's no committee and no quarterly roadmap to wait for. Dozens of changes ship every month, and when a school tells us what's missing, it gets built instead of logged. You get a partner who answers, not a line item in someone else's queue.

Need grades or attendance? Much of what the bigger systems offer is on our roadmap, and we'll build it fast, alongside the schools that need it first.

For the teacher who became a founder

Starting a school means wearing hats you've never worn: admissions director, billing clerk, webmaster. We know that feeling. We built Lazarus so the move from teacher to school leader is as smooth and rewarding as it can be, with tools that are easy to follow, a free place to start, and people on the other end when you need help.

Our mission

At Lazarus, we resurrect your school's administrative life by replacing complexity, confusion, and wasted time with clarity, simplicity, and the freedom to focus on what matters: your students.
