Classavo
As a UB undergraduate, Rohan Shah joined with fellow UB students to begin building an educational technology company.
That startup’s first product — Classavo — is now serving college students and professors nationwide, providing cutting-edge tools for online education in the midst of a pandemic. And Shah and fellow UB alumnus Huy Duc Pham have been named to the 2021 Forbes 30 Under 30 list for education.
“Every opportunity I have, I want to empower and motivate students to follow their passion, to believe in themselves. It’s been hard, but I have met so many cool people and learned so much in such a short time,” says Shah, CEO of interactiveX, the company that created Classavo. He graduated from UB in 2016 with a bachelor’s degree in computer science and a minor in business.
