Everyone should have access to a tech career
Every cohort, we see how supportive, community-centric, alternative education changes the trajectory of not just one life, but many lives. Even when things are hard. Even during recession and global economic crisis.
We believe bootcamps help bridge economic inequity. Bootcamps improve not just a career trajectory, but whole lives.
Your commitment to growth and education deserves to be honored. We hope to do that by reducing financial barriers to bootcamp.
