Adjacent Academies provides immersive, credit-bearing courses that help liberal arts graduates build technical competencies and professional networks to thrive amid technological transformation. Launched in 2019 under the leadership of Anh Nguyen, the program focuses on in-demand skills such as JavaScript while actively integrating soft skills like communication, teamwork, and ethics into its curriculum. Students enroll in immersive courses that combine technical training with opportunities to refine values-driven design thinking. The company leverages a Silicon Valley presence to incorporate regular visits to startups and established tech firms across industries. In its first year, students visited companies including Slack, LinkedIn, and Remind. Adjacent Academies closed a $2.1M seed round to support its programs and growth.
