Academy is an education startup based in the United Kingdom founded in 2020. The company's slogan "Accelerating diverse talent into tech and leadership | Certified B Corp" reflects its mission to cultivate future leaders and promote diversity in the technology sector. Academy aims to identify and nurture the top 0.5% of potential talent with a focus on both technical and leadership skills from various academic backgrounds. The company offers a 15-week training program funded by industry leaders, providing participants with the necessary tech skills and leadership abilities to thrive in the modern workplace. Academy's unique approach includes scouting out top graduates and ensuring they are well-equipped to build real products while effectively collaborating with diverse teams. In a recently announced Seed Round investment of £3.00M at 17 December 2021, Academy secured funding from Emerge Education and LocalGlobe, indicating confidence from established players in the education and venture capital space. This investment will likely further support the company's efforts to accelerate top talent into tech roles that surpass average computer science graduate salaries.
