Online school for Chinese to learn digital skills
We run an online school teaching digital marketing, data analytics, and product design to Chinese-speaking students. Our courses center on real-world business problems, using capstone projects to ensure students build relevant skills that employers demand.
We are based in New York, NY, and would continue to operate from here after YC.
New York is where our team lives and works, and it's also home to many global companies that hire our students. Staying here keeps us close to both our team and our employer partners.
