East Nashville-based software company LiveSchool has made it through to the next round of The Wall Street Journal's Startup of the Year competition. LiveSchool, which raised more than $1.6 million early this year, gives teachers the ability to track student behavior in real time via a software app. After starting as part of a pool of more than 500 applicants, the company now is competing with just nine others from around the country.
