CodeBoxx, a St. Petersburg, Fla. and NYC-based technology community that offers an accelerated coding and technology program for individuals of all backgrounds, secured $2m in seed funding.
The round, which brought total valuation to $22m, was led by the investment arm of MadaLuxe Group. Following MadaLuxe Group’s investment, Sandy Sholl, co-founder and Chairman of MadaLuxe Group, will also join the CodeBoxx board of directors.
The company will launch its first in-person US cohorts at its Tampa Bay–St. Petersburg location and at its Philadelphia campus this year and plans to expand into the NY/NJ/CT tri-state area in 2022.
The CodeBoxx developer ecosystem is breaking barriers and helping retail and other companies address the shortage of skilled tech talent by making developer training accessible to diverse populations and guaranteeing job placement upon program completion.
CodeBoxx was founded with a mission to create the business-first developers of the 21st century by offering a 16-week, full-time training program that focuses on development of the technical and soft skills businesses require today. There are no prerequisites to register and enroll in the CodeBoxx technology training program and participants pay no tuition until they have successfully completed the program and are hired by one of CodeBoxx’s client companies or are placed in its in-house solutions division.
