Trilogy Education Services (sometimes shortened to Trilogy Education) is a New York City-based education technology company that partners with universities to offer skill-based technology courses, known as boot camps.[1] Courses are held on the university partner's sites.[1]

The company was founded in 2015.[2]

History

Trilogy Education was founded in 2015 by Dan Sommer, whose father was a trustee for State University of New York. The younger Sommer had previously worked for an OPM, an acronym for companies which help universities bring their courses online.[1] Rutgers was the company's first university partner.[3]

In June 2017, the company received USD$30 million in a Series A funding round led by investment firm Highland Capital Partners.[4] By then, the company had 250 employees.[2] In September, the company announced it was partnering with Monterrey, Mexico-based Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM), to create a tech training program on ITESM's Mexico campus.[5] Trilogy Education also started working with the University of Toronto in Canada.[6]

In May 2018, the company received an additional USD$50 million, in a Series B funding round co-led by Highland Capital Partners, Macquarie Capital and Exceed Capital.[7] At the time, the company reported it had 7,500 current students currently enrolled, and 2,000 graduates of its programs.[1] As of July, the company was working with 37 universities.[8] It also announced it was looking outside of North America for additional partnerships.[6]

Business

The universities share their brands and facilities with Trilogy Education, and provide oversight of the curriculum, instructors, and student experience, in exchange for a share of the tuition revenue.[3] The company produces programs in areas such as web development; user interface/user experience (UI/UX); data analytics and visualization; and cybersecurity.[7] Students train in coding languages such as JavaScript, jQuery, Node.js, Java, HTML, CSS and Python, and the curriculum is developed centrally in Github.[7]

In addition to Rutgers, ITESM, and the University of Toronto, other partner universities include the University of Pennsylvania,[8] the University of Washington, Columbia University, the University of Texas-Austin,[9] Georgia Tech and the University of California at Berkeley.[10]
