Coco Coders, based in Lake Tahoe, CA, is set to expand its AI and coding literacy programs for children aged 6 to 14 following a successful $2.5 million seed funding round led by Homegrown Capital. The investment will enable the company to grow its partnerships with schools, enhance its curriculum, and broaden access to its live online technology education programs across the United States. Over the past two years, Coco Coders has seen its annual recurring revenue triple, reflecting a growing demand for technology-focused learning opportunities. The company offers a subscription-based model with live, instructor-led classes that teach coding and AI concepts through thematic modules, connecting these skills to real-world applications. With a presence in all 50 states, the UK, and over 10 other countries, Coco Coders aims to further expand its reach, particularly in Iowa, Nevada, North Dakota, and South Dakota, where state support has facilitated discussions on technology education. CEO Elizabeth Tweedale emphasizes the importance of early technology education as foundational for future academic and career success, highlighting a shift in perception among parents and educators. The company plans to use the new funding to expand its network of teachers, develop its curriculum further, and increase school-based programming, all while promoting technology learning opportunities at earlier educational stages.
