We exist to open the door to tech careers

DevCamp was built by engineers and educators who believe a great tech career shouldn't require a four-year degree or a privileged starting point — just the right training and real support.

our story

Founded by people who switched careers too

DevCamp started in 2017 in a single rented classroom in San Francisco. Our founders — a self-taught engineer and a former high-school teacher — were frustrated that breaking into tech still felt like a closed club. They built the bootcamp they wished had existed: rigorous, hands-on, and obsessed with whether students actually got hired.

What began with a cohort of nine students has grown into a global program with online and in-person campuses, more than 3,800 graduates, and a hiring network of over 300 companies. But the founding rule still holds: we don't celebrate until our students sign offer letters.

Today our team includes working engineers, designers, and a dedicated career staff — many of them DevCamp graduates themselves — all focused on one outcome: launching new careers in tech.

mission & values

Our mission is your first day on the job

We measure ourselves by graduate outcomes. These values keep us focused on what actually changes lives.

Outcomes over hype

We publish real hire rates and salaries. If our graduates don't get jobs, we haven't done ours.

Access for all

No degree required. We offer scholarships and deferred tuition so cost is never the only barrier.

Learn by building

You learn to code by writing code. Every module ends in a real, reviewable project.

Mentorship that matters

Small cohorts and a 1:6 mentor ratio mean you're never stuck and never anonymous.

Industry-current

Our curriculum is updated every cohort with input from the engineers who hire our grads.

Support that lasts

Career help doesn't end at graduation — alumni keep lifetime access to our hiring network.
