Organization

Thinkful’s mission is to provide ambitious students everywhere with the skills and competencies needed to achieve and succeed in high-growth tech careers. To accomplish that, Thinkful provides one-on-one learning through its network of industry experts, hiring partners, and an
online platform to deliver a structured and flexible education. Thinkful’s structured online learning experience is key to our mission: connecting students and working professionals around the country,
whether or not they live in the same city, allows us to bring tech careers to people outside major U.S. tech hubs, like San Francisco or NYC. It also allows us to invest tuition in student support and research-backed educational strategies (like one-on-one tutoring) rather than real estate and to reach students who
are financially or geographically unable to commute to a class. All programs offered at Thinkful align with this mission.

Thinkful, Inc. was founded in 2012 by Darrell Silver and Dan Friedman with the objective of providing theoretical and practical learning based on industry needs and student feedback while cultivating a collaborative educational environment. In 2018, Thinkful, Inc. acquired Bloc, one of the first coding
bootcamps to offer self-paced learning. As a result of the acquisition, Thinkful previously offered Bloc-branded
programs. In 2019, Thinkful, Inc. was acquired by Chegg, Inc.
