About Us
Created by educators, for educators
Founded in 2023, Excelas was born from real classroom experience. When our founder John, an active teacher, saw how much time his colleagues spent on administrative tasks instead of teaching, he knew there had to be a better way. Together with his father Bryan, a technology veteran, they set out to create tools that give teachers back their most precious resource - time. Supported by the UCL Hatchery program and driven by our deep understanding of education, we're committed to helping teachers focus on what matters most: inspiring the next generation.
