西班牙語(西班牙語)Contxto喧囂基金——著名的矽穀風險投資(VC)公司挖掘Academlo edtech喧囂在墨西哥。Contxto采訪時,Georg Berger-the啟動的Co-founder-revealed籌集股本的VC,但未透露交易金額。伯傑說,他們將使用資金雇傭更多的教學人員。它也有一些有趣的未來的計劃。現在,這次非凡的是,喧囂基金通常側重於創業公司從美國,加拿大,東南亞。但是有一些關於edtech Academlo及其目標市場,VC隻是忍不住。Edtech Academlo伯傑和埃裏克·佩雷斯·阿爾瓦雷斯Academlo推出一個在線編程學校,就在幾個月前,2019年7月。目前,有50名注冊學生兩代人之間的分裂。但它有一個雄心勃勃的目標,未來18個月,有250名校友畢業項目。目前提供兩種課程在西班牙,一個完整的開發和計算機科學(這一點),另一個是銷售業務(B2B)期業務課程集中在它。 Academlo seeks to turn a profit via income share agreements (ISA) with enrolled students. Meaning, alumni don’t pay for the course until they’ve landed a job with a yearly salary that hits the minimum bracket of MXN$180,000 (over US$9,600). After which, they’re charged 12 percent of their salary for 12 months for the B2B course, and 36 months for the full-stack program. The startup also helps students in their search for a job upon graduating. And likewise, the startup has been approached by companies hunting for programmers. In-depth, full-stack learning There are startups and bootcamps that offer intensive programming courses lasting somewhere between one to three months. Moreover, participants are often required to be physically present in the classroom in order to learn. And they have to pay for classes upfront. It’s in these terms that Academlo ’s model for full-stack programming is different. This startup’s coursework takes place completely online, over a ten-month period. Lectures are live and held every evening from Monday through Thursday for three hours. No skipping class if you want your diploma at the end, kiddies. And you only start paying once you snag the job. Further down the road As for future plans, the startup doesn’t discard the idea of using their model to impart classes on mobile app development, UX content, and they’ve even researched the possibility of an online MBA. “[But] for now we want to double down on what has been working really well,” said Berger, “which is training software engineers.” While the startup considers students from all parts of Latin America, its primary markets are Mexico and Colombia. And consequently, it will further its efforts in these countries where around 70 percent of their students are found. According to the Co-founder, it’s the sheer size of their Spanish-speaking population and the major presence of companies eager for savvy software programmers that made them so darned attractive to both Academlo and the Hustle Fund . Silicon Valley is now closer to Latam. And who knows? Some of these graduates may move onto further feed the regional startup ecosystem.
