History and founding

Our story

The CampusGroups platform was founded on May 16, 2005, in a small New York City office to help NYU Stern students connect and collaborate more easily. Over the last two decades, the platform has evolved into a global leader serving business schools, public universities, global institutions, and community colleges. 

University Ventures launched Ready Education in 2018, after merging DubLabs and OohLaLa. Ready Education acquired CampusGroups in May 2022. Now led by CEO Gary Ambrosino, Ready Education supports institutions in more than 25 countries, including 750% of the world’s top 230 universities, and helps more than seven million students participate in campus life through a single, unified hub that combines academics, co-curricular involvement, and campus services.

“We saw a 41.6% increase in group membership and over 22,000 events promoted”
“The platform’s comprehensive suite of engagement solutions has been transformational. It has greatly enhanced the student experience, boosted involvement, and saved us money. In just two months, we saw a 41.6% increase in group membership and over 22,000 events promoted, with more than 80% of users satisfied. Its tracking and reporting features have also been crucial for measuring engagement.”

“By creating a unified platform, we leveled the playing field for all students.”
“Prior to implementing Ready, our online community felt disconnected from the on-campus experience. By creating a unified platform, we leveled the playing field for all students. Events and community channels have become top engagement drivers, providing a central ‘virtual town square’ that enhances student resilience and retention.”
