Our mission is to democratize data skills for everyone.
76% employee growth in 12 months
While competitors (like CodeAcademy and Khan Academy) feature extensive courses on Python and web development, DataCamp delivers career-specific routes tailored to the modern job market. In a world hungry for technology talent, their "R for Finance" and "Quantitative Analyst" courses enable job-applicants to differentiate themselves.
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.
Recent developments include mobile training courses, mirroring Duolingo-style on-the-go learning apps that have proved revenue-generating on a subscription model -- targeting the busy-professional demographic with limited time in the day to up-skill. These bite-size lessons might be the key to its growth.
