🍀 About Bloomcoding

Bloomcoding is a technology startup on a mission to change 100 million lives, by equiping children with digital & STEM skills (coding, design, AI) accessible in schools & after-schools.

We started off with building an online coding after-school for kids, with real teachers and at-home kits that are used during lessons to allow children to experience their projects kinesthetically, engaging them much more.

It launched in Romania, Moldova, Bulgaria, Poland, Turkey & Columbia, and became the biggest online coding school in the CEE region, with the highest retention rate in our niche in all of Europe.

    “Every now and then you meet a founder who is so passionate about what they’re building, that you kind of want to give them money on the spot. (…) Up until now, Emil and his team have delivered beyond expectations on a shoestring budget. So we are super excited to see their product vision executed and scaled with proper funding, so it can be brought into the hands of thousands of kids,” said Guillame Fournier, general partner at Credo Ventures.
