Salary benchmarks
Our take
Encode Club is a leading developer education company in Emerging Tech. Working with companies in Web3 and AI to organise programmes such as hackathons, bootcamps, and accelerators, designed to help talented individuals advance their skills and careers. Over 10,000 participants engage in Encode's programmes each quarter, benefiting from high-quality, community-driven education.
Encode Club was founded by Anthony and Damir, who met while working in venture capital in 2018. Anthony had recently graduated from Oxford, and Damir had just exited his startup to a large German corporation. They recognised that high-quality education and developer access were scarce in rapidly evolving tech fields like Web3 and AI. Thus, Encode Club was created to fill this gap and collaborate with innovative startups and developers in shaping the future of Emerging Tech.
Initially bootstrapped, Encode raised a major fundraising round after two years, which marked the beginning of a phase of significant growth and expansion. Now, Encode Club stands out as a leading educator in Web3 and is rapidly building its reputation in AI, following a series of high-profile events.
