Our take

Learning to code can open many doors, but high-quality training can be inaccessible and expensive. EPICODE is setting out to change this through their coding bootcamps.

Although coding courses are nothing new, EPICODE has succeeded in setting itself apart from rival providers. This is largely down to its connection with Company Partners which allow its students to smoothly enter the job world at the end of their course.

Moreover, the company is distinguished by a unique payment model in the market, which allows users to pay the last 50% of the fee once they have secured a job offer. The company has raised impressive funding and acquired Y Combinator company Strive, a clear indicator of EPICODE's ambitious strategy and strong potential.

EPICODE has been served well by its unique payment model and high-quality training service. It will need to invest further in its outreach in order to scale this success.
