our mission: to give you the skills you need towin, from people who’ve done it before

it felt kinda old school

5.
but it was totally new school

we had a little (well a lot) of help from our friends Christopher O’Donnell Mike Troiano Aaron White

7.
and before we knew it, our classroom was full

8.
we scored $10,000 from HubSpot to build anarmy of stellar developers in Boston

9.
so Aaron White stepped up to teach 35students to code…on his own…for free

10.
and RailsBridge Boston taught a sharpgroup of women Ruby...for free

11.
we thought, “Hey, why not make allclasses free for college students?”

a light bulb went off when SVB showed us afinancial model we could actually use
