Is this the same company that ran Edyssy in 2014?

No. The original team moved on to the ClassMade app and then closed both products. This site restores the parts of Edyssy that survived in public web archives and rewrites the help desk for current admissions; it does not claim to be the original company.

Can I still log in, upload a resume or post a position?

No. Accounts, resume uploads, the position board and the offers board are gone, and old login addresses now lead back to the home page. Nothing on the restored site asks for personal data.

What happened to the ClassMade app?

ClassMade shipped version 1.0 in January 2015 for iOS, Android, Windows and the web, and the edyssy.com address pointed to it for a while. It is no longer available; the screenshots on this page come from the archived product pages.

Where do the grant records and rank tables come from?

From copies of the 2014 site kept by the Internet Archive. The grant records were built from public federal award data, and the rank tables combined published league tables of that time, so treat both as historical rather than current.

About Edyssy.com

Edyssy, short for Education Odyssey, set out in 2014 to solve one problem: help professors find talented students, and help students find the right professors.

The problem we started with

The founders called it the academic marriage, and they thought it was arranged almost blind. A professor waits for admission season, picks graduate students from whoever happened to apply that year, and hopes for a match. A student picks schools from a rankings list, applies, and hopes someone in the department works on what they care about.

Edyssy’s answer was to make funding visible. The site tracked research grants and new faculty start-up money, so a registered student could see who had just won an award, search professors by research interest, follow their publications, and get in touch well before the regular application season. The 2014 About page put the shortcut in capital letters: FOLLOWING MONEY.

It worked from the other side too. Professors could build a pool of interested students long before admissions, then pick from it when a grant came through and they needed people. They could also post graduate and postdoc positions for free. Local businesses in university towns paid a small fee to post part-time jobs.

What was on the site

Searches for TA, RA and postdoc positions, campus jobs, professors and grants.
A positions board for assistantships, fellowships, postdocs, faculty and staff roles.
Grant records drawn from public federal award data, with abstracts and amounts.
University, college and graduate program rank tables that combined several rankings in one row.
An application DIY kit, an offers board, a student showroom and a Support Center with the questions applicants asked most.

Then came ClassMade

The same team noticed a second problem, closer to home. Students could sit through a whole semester of classes without knowing the people next to them; classmates stayed familiar strangers. From 2013 they worked on a social campus app, and in late 2014 they finished a cross-platform version called ClassMade and began beta testing. Version 1.0 shipped in January 2015.

ClassMade did class tables and homework tracking, chat with classmates and instructors, task lists, student club pages and university-wide forums with both anonymous and named posting. It ran on iOS, Android, Windows and the web, and for a while the edyssy.com address pointed to it.

What Edyssy is now

Both products are long gone, and the address passed through other hands for some years. This site restores what was worth keeping: the follow-the-money idea, the grant records and rank tables that survived in public web archives, and the thirteen questions from the Support Center, answered again from scratch for current admissions.

There are no accounts, no resume uploads and no tracking of what you search. The grant box runs in your browser. The help desk articles are written by people who have sat on the professor’s side of the inbox and know what gets a reply.

Start with Ask for help, or go straight to professors with grants. Your Education Odyssey starts now; that line was on the old About page too, and we saw no reason to change it.
