Zach Sims

I'm Zach, co-founder of Codecademy, the easiest way to learn to code online. The platform grew to over 50 million users and we sold it for more than $500 million.

I started building things online from my parents' basement at 13, studied political science at Columbia, and realized nothing school taught had anything to do with what people actually needed after graduation so I've been working on that gap ever since.

Ask me about: my work, the gap between education and employment, or building from a viral moment.
