Educative

Educative is an online technical education platform founded in 2015 by Fahim ul Haq and headquartered in Bellevue, Washington. The platform focuses on software engineering education, offering courses designed around text-based, interactive content rather than video lectures, with embedded coding environments that allow learners to write and execute code directly in the browser.

Educative's catalog covers topics including data structures and algorithms, system design, cloud computing, and programming languages such as Python, Java, and JavaScript. The platform is particularly known for interview preparation content, including its 'Grokking the Coding Interview' series. It serves individual developers as well as enterprise customers seeking to upskill engineering teams.

The company raised a Series B round, bringing its total disclosed funding to approximately $16.6 million from investors including Gradient Ventures, Google's AI-focused venture fund. Educative has grown its course library to thousands of titles and employs several hundred people. The platform operates on a subscription model in addition to per-course purchases.
