To democratize data and AI education for all.
76% employee growth in 12 months
While platforms like Codecademy and Khan Academy offer broad course in Phython and web development, DataCamp carves out a more targeted path, offering career-focused learning rtacks built for toda's data-driven job market. In a world where tech talent is in high demand, specialized programs like "R for Finance" and "Quantitative ANalyst" help learners stand out in competitive fields.
DataCamp generates much of its revenue working with businesses, with clients from Deloitte to PayPal. Industries around the world are desperate to up-skill their talent with the latest analytics tools: this product is quickly becoming key to the on-boarding and training regimes of many firms. The company has also worked to develop its fraud and regulatory risk analytics courses. Financial services firms are keen to automate their compliance systems as AML becomes increasingly a process of data mining.
The company is also evolving how it delivers content. With innovations including mobile-friendly, bite-sized lessons that echo the addictive, gamified style of Duolingo (ideal for busy professionals squeezing learning into spare moments). This mobile-first approach, backed by a subscription model, could be a key engine for more future growth.
