Instructure: The Makers of Canvas

Instructure is an American educational technology company founded in 2008 by Brian Whitmer and Devlin Daley.
==History==
Founded in 2008 by Whitmer and Daley who were BYU graduate students, Instructure's initial funding came from Mozy founder Josh Coates, who served as Instructure's CEO from 2010 to 2018 and chairman of the board through 2020.
In 2010, the Utah Education Network (UEN), which represents a number of Utah colleges and universities, announced that Instructure would be replacing Blackboard. By 2013, Instructure's platform was in-use by more than 300 colleges, universities, and K-12 districts; the company's customer base had increased to 9 million users by the end of the year.
In 2011, Instructure announced they were making their flagship product, Canvas, which was entirely available under an Affero General Public License (AGPL) license as open-source software, a move which garnered press coverage due to its threat to then market leader Blackboard. As of 2020, while the core Canvas remains open-source, some Canvas functions and add-ons are proprietary.
