Microverse
A global school for Software Developers!
About Microverse
Microverse is a global, distributed school for software developers that doesn't charge students anything until they get hired.
We are backed by Y Combinator and other top tier investors from Silicon Valley, and our team works remotely from all around the world. We are global citizens and passionate about our mission and company values. Being remote-first and fully transparent, we are proud of the amazing remote culture we are building, while also making time for frequent in-person meetups with team members around the world.
At Microverse, there are no classes or physical classrooms. Instead, students learn through a very unique approach — by remote pair programming and collaborating with other students in real-time, just as they would with colleagues in a real company. We create the support structure to help them learn the skills to become world-class software developers, and we don't charge them anything until they get hired.
Thanks to a unique peer-to-peer model that replaces teachers with students learning from and with each other, our low cost per student allows us to invest in exceptional individuals that no one else has access to. We have full-time students in 80+ countries, thousands of applicants per month from ~200 countries, and graduates from Nigeria to Mexico that have increased their salaries up to 10 times after completing our program.
