Hiveclass

Hiveclass (legally Hive Class, Inc.) is a New York-based education technology company that operates a digital platform of instructional videos and lesson plans for K-12 physical education, fitness and wellness. The core product is a library of short-form skill videos — typically two to three minutes each, most requiring little or no equipment — covering sports and activity units including basketball, soccer, volleyball, tennis, pickleball, lacrosse, field hockey, aquatics, gymnastics, dance, yoga, self-defense, strength and conditioning, mobility, fitness, nutrition, mindfulness and brain breaks. Quizzes requiring written responses are interspersed between clips, and a teacher portal lets educators view their student rosters and quiz answers. The company states that its content aligns with SHAPE America national guidelines and state PE standards, includes movement modifications, low-impact options and assistive technology, and is available in English and Spanish.

Products are organized into three suites: MOVE (physical literacy, comprising HiveclassPE curriculum and HiveclassDigital for libraries), CONNECT (mental well-being, comprising Robin K12 curriculum, RobinConnect student coaching and RobinCDA student diagnostic) and THRIVE (adult enablement, comprising RobinPD educator coaching and RobinEngage family coaching). HiveclassDigital is positioned for independent and programmatic use in libraries, after-school programs and community spaces, and is distributed in part through Hoopla BingePass, which grants seven days of unlimited access per borrow. A homeschool offering provides full access to the K-12 PE catalog for $99 per student per year. Announced platform roadmap items include AI feedback tools, daily mental-health check-ins, analytical dashboards and expanded climate diagnostics.

At the time of its February 2025 seed round, Hiveclass reported partnerships with more than 80 educational institutions and over 13,000 students and teachers on the platform. Caplight classifies the company as a private, B2B vertical-SaaS business with 27 employees.

Founding story

Founders Joe Titus and Paul Suhr, friends who met through second-grade baseball, were concerned about maintaining their children's activity levels when schools moved online during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and mandatory physical education and sports were unavailable. Titus, who coached his son's soccer team in New York City, cited the high cost of youth sports and the resulting inequity in access as a motivating factor. The pair founded the company in 2020, with Titus serving as CEO and Suhr as chief product officer.

Business model

Hiveclass sells subscription access to its curriculum platform primarily to public schools, school districts and libraries rather than directly to parents, and also offers a direct homeschool subscription. Pricing for institutional clients is not publicly disclosed and is tailored per client based on requirements such as student count; the homeschool plan is listed at $99 per student for a 12-month subscription. The company has said it was exploring additional revenue streams including licensing agreements.

Recurring subscription fees for platform and curriculum access, sold mainly to schools, districts and libraries (B2B/B2G), supplemented by a per-student annual homeschool subscription and distribution through library platforms such as Hoopla BingePass; licensing agreements were described as an additional revenue stream under exploration.

Traction

As of the February 2025 seed announcement, Hiveclass partnered with more than 80 educational institutions and had over 13,000 students and teachers on the platform, and said it had generated more than $2 million in revenue with an additional $1 million targeted within the following month. Caplight noted monthly website visitors grew 63% month-over-month as of July 2026 and lists 27 employees. The company's site cites customer use at MS137 in New York City Public Schools.

Latest developments

In March 2026 Hiveclass and Robin merged to form a unified K-12 well-being ecosystem spanning the MOVE, CONNECT and THRIVE product suites. In September 2026 the company reported bringing its mind-body wellness content to ClickView. Announced roadmap items include AI feedback tools, daily mental well-being check-ins, analytical dashboards and expanded climate diagnostics.
