Training and connecting untapped talent globally

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an online platform that trains software developers remotely and connects them with global companies. Our product teaches programming collaboratively among students worldwide and helps place them in remote developer roles.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We all live remote and the company is remote-first; after YC we will continue being fully remote.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Being remote allows us to tap global talent and operate without geographic constraints. It matches our mission of connecting untapped developers worldwide.
