Launch Academy, Inc is an education startup based in the United States that aims to train software developers and launch their careers through its 18-week course. The company's slogan, "Learn to Code the Human Way," reflects its approach to providing job-ready skills to its students, known as "Launchers." Before the program begins, Launchers complete 150-180 hours of interactive pre-learning to grasp the fundamentals of programming.
Launch Academy's instructional philosophy emphasizes Test Driven Development (TDD), pair programming, and Agile Methodologies to recreate the environment of a software development team. Over the past 7 years, Launch Academy has successfully trained over 750 aspiring developers, enabling them to contribute effectively from day one.
The company's structured learning path enables Launchers to learn through a challenge-based approach, emphasizing collaboration via pair programming and small group work. These methods ensure that students have the necessary tools to delve deeper into any area of the stack post-graduation.
Despite its impactful work, there is no public record of the last investment in Launch Academy or the last investors involved in the company. Founded in 2012, Launch Academy operates in the education industry.
