Scrimba AS

Scrimba AS is an online coding education company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Oslo, Norway. The platform was co-founded by Per Harald Borgen, Sindre Aarsaether, and Magnus Holm, and is built around a proprietary screencast format in which learners can pause pre-recorded video lessons and edit the instructor's code directly inside the player without switching to a separate environment.

Scrimba offers courses covering HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, TypeScript, Python, and other web development topics. The platform targets self-taught developers and career changers, and operates on a freemium model with a paid Pro subscription that unlocks full course access, projects, and community features. In 2023, Scrimba introduced an AI-powered coding tutor integrated into its course player to provide contextual hints and explanations.

Scrimba has raised external funding, though the specific total amount has not been publicly disclosed in detail. The company operates with a small team and has grown its user base organically through free course offerings and partnerships with organizations such as freeCodeCamp. Its interactive screencast technology, which it calls the "scrim" format, is the core differentiator from conventional video-based coding platforms.
