We are a coding bootcamp for people that have limited access to education and the labor market. Our organisation was founded in Amsterdam in 2016 and is now active in the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark. Our curriculum is open-source and has been used by coding bootcamps in Greece, Spain and the UK.
HackYourFuture is a not-for-profit foundation but operates like a lean start-up. Our bootcamp is free. Around 30% of our budget is derived from education fees that we charge companies hiring our talented trainees. This keeps us sharp and results-oriented. The other 70% comes from sponsorship and donations.
Our 2020/2021 campaign in collaboration with 72andSunny celebrates the stories of seven of our alumni who have found their vocation and voice through coding and helped build some of the world’s most-used websites. In a geeky way, their exceptional life stories have been hidden in the code of the websites from the companies where they now work, inviting you to go behind the source, literally.
