Finalsite is a privately-held software company that provides various services catered towards K-12 public schools. Its services include creating software like websites and databases, as well as web hosting and content management systems. It was founded in 1999 by Jon Moser, and is headquartered in Glastonbury, Connecticut.[1] Moser later sold Finalsite to Spectrum Capital in 2011, which then sold it to Bridge Growth Partners, which then sold it to Veritas Capital in 2021. He has remained the C.E.O. the entire time.[2]
During the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, Finalsite's offices were forced to shut down and go remote out of safety. Finalsite's employees were productive enough while working remotely that their employees were never required to return to in-person work, and all still work remote today.[3]
On 4 January 2022, a ransomware attack caused Finalsite's web hosting services to be shut down.[4] The company said that this resulted in around 8,000 schools' services being taken offline worldwide, 4,500 of which were located in the United States.[5] Finalsite cleared all of the infected servers, and restored a backup of all their customers' data within a couple hours.
