Codecademyの事業内容

Working professionals are experiencing their jobs changing amidst the rise of technology and automation threatens over 800 million jobs. At the same time, software is eating the world, disrupting every major industry, and creating millions of new technology jobs that companies are eager to fill. This is the skills gap. Our mission is closing it. In 2011, we changed the face of education by creating free interactive coding courses explored by over 45 million people. As we look to the future, we're focused on helping anyone get the skills they need for the jobs they want. We aim to bridge the gap: between companies and the workforce, people and their dream jobs. Join one of the most dynamic technology companies in New York that is changing the way the world learns. Headquartered in New York City, our team is filled with highly curious diverse individuals whose backgrounds span tech and education. Our team is passionate about our mission: helping people get the skills they need for the jobs they want. We seek transparency, thrive on feedback, value teamwork, love evolving and never forget it's people first. We enjoy catered lunches together, company outings, guest speakers and long walks on the beach.

Codecademyの実際のYCアプリケーションですか？

いいえ。Y Combinatorは提出されたアプリケーションを非公開にしています。これは再構築されたものです。実際のYCフォームの質問に、Codecademyの公開データ（ローンチノート、創業者経歴、製品説明）から回答しています。Codecademyのような会社がYCにどのようにアピールするかを示しており、彼らが提出したテキストではありません。
