Instructional Data Solutions Named to 2026 LSU100

Instructional Data Solutions has earned a ranking on Louisiana State University’s 2026 LSU One Hundred list.

Instructional Data Solutions has earned a ranking on Louisiana State University’s 2026 LSU One Hundred  list of fastest-growing companies owned or led by Louisiana State University graduates. In addition to celebrating the success of LSU graduates, the LSU One Hundred program provides a forum for LSU graduates to pass business success guidance on to the next generation of LSU entrepreneurs.

“It’s a true honor to be recognized as one of the youngest companies on this year’s list and one of the fastest-growing companies led by LSU alumni,” said Hunter Brown, IDS founder and president. “We cannot wait to continue growing our impact and serving more education organizations.”

Instructional Data Solutions exists to help education organizations focus on what matters most. We are proud that, even during a period of rapid growth, we have continued to serve our clients well. Our average Net Promoter Score is 9.5 out of 10, reflecting the value our clients place on the work we do together.

Our suite of tools and analytics only matters insofar as it helps teachers teach and students learn. Our work with schools, nonprofits, and other education organizations gives us a reason to get up and get to work every day. By making data more comprehensible and actionable for our partners, we help educators and organizational leaders spend less time navigating information and more time focusing on their mission.

IDS could not be more thrilled with this honor. Not only did we earn a place on a list of the state’s fastest-growing companies, but we are also among the youngest companies represented. In true IDS fashion, we wanted to share some data about our fellow honorees.

• Only seven of the LSU One Hundred companies were founded in 2020, while the remaining 93 were founded earlier, making IDS one of the youngest companies on this year’s list.

• The fastest-growing companies on the list represent a mix of established firms and younger businesses. Nearly two-thirds of the companies honored, 61 percent, were founded in 2000 or later. Three companies are more than 100 years old. We hope IDS will be among them someday.

• Forty-seven percent of the companies on this year’s list are based in Baton Rouge, just like IDS. We love seeing Tigers stay true to their city.
