Turning PhDs & engineers into data scientists & data engineers
We run a seven-week fellowship that helps PhDs and engineers transition into data science and data engineering roles. The program teaches practical skills and connects fellows to hiring companies across multiple cities and remotely.
We live in Palo Alto, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
Palo Alto puts us close to the tech companies who hire our fellows and the data science community, which makes recruiting fellows and partners easier.
