CodePath

Year Founded: 2017

CodePath has built infrastructure that layers onto the existing postsecondary education system to ensure that students nationwide have access to the tech sector’s most competitive roles. Its no-cost programs are developed by software engineers and center on the needs and successes of students who self-identify as Black, Latinx, Indigenous, or come from low-income backgrounds. CodePath is building a two-sided marketplace for tech, cultivating job-ready students on the supply side, and trusted employer partnerships on the demand side while delivering systemic change to universities.

CodePath has run courses across 70 universities and has taught nearly 20,000 students since 2017. Today CodePath has emerged as one of the largest training providers for early talent, with 7,000 students participating in its rigorous, industry-backed programs in 2022 and 2,500 alums working at Fortune 500 companies as software engineers.
