The funding will allow the Californian-based startup to develop its computer engineering training solutions for universities, training centers, and companies on the African continent.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

SAN FRANCISCO, April 15, 2021 \u2013<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Holberton<\/span><\/a>, making software engineering education affordable and accessible globally, announced today that it has raised $20 million in Series B funding led by\u00a0Redpoint eventures<\/span><\/a>\u00a0with new investor\u00a0Pearson Ventures<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and participation by existing investors\u00a0Daphni<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0Imaginable Futures<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0Reach Capital<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Trinity Ventures<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Holberton works with institutes in several African countries including Tunisia, Madagascar, and Morocco, which have trained thousands of learners. The group\u2019s ambition is to help more than 500,000 students in Africa gain access to first-rate education by 2030, directly via its Holberton School Network, or indirectly with education institutions and training centers. To reach that goal, Holberton constantly innovates and expands how it delivers education on a large scale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have developed technologies, tools, programs, and teaching methods to complement, extend or fill gaps in the training of students or employees. Our solutions have been designed and created to train learners anywhere in the world and at any level of Commuter Science Knowledge, whether they are beginners or familiar with the computer language\u201d, says Julien Barbier, CEO, and co-founder of Holberton.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With its partners, Holberton has provided education to thousands of students around the world,\u00a0 creating new tools, processes, programs, and methods needed to send students into high-paying jobs at top technology companies such as Amazon, Apple, Google, LinkedIn, Tesla, and more. Holberton has created a new concept that it calls the \u201cOS of Education”. Customers use what they need to either build entire new schools or supplement their current education delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSince our founding in Silicon Valley in 2015, we have had a vision of making software engineering education affordable and accessible to everybody around the world,\u201d said Julien Barbier. \u201cAfrica is a continent with a considerable nursery of young people to train. Our solutions enable public and private institutions to offer modern, tailored education that meets the needs of the job market on the continent.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Holberton\u2019s offering includes a complete off-the-shelf franchise model, as well as tailored curricula, auto-graded projects, and tools. Customers — who best understand their student needs, job market requirements, and unique accessibility challenges — use what they want or need to fulfill their educational mission. And thus contribute to filling a national pool of highly qualified software engineers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHolberton’s OS of Education concept opens up the company’s proven tools to a broader education market<\/span>,\u201d said Manoel Lemos, managing partner at Redpoint eventures. \u201cThey\u2019ve proven successful in breaking down barriers of cost and access while delivering a world-class curriculum. With the concept of \u2018OS of Education\u2019 as a service, they provide customers with all the tools they need for success. Customers can be non-profit impact investors who want to improve local economies, education institutions who want to fill gaps in how they teach in a post-COVID learning environment or corporations who want to provide the best training possible as education providers themselves or as employee development programs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
