LearnStreet provides a multi-modal online coding platform that combines in-browser coding, project-based lessons in a "Code Garage," instructional videos, background theory, exercises and Dev Tools to help users push code live. The platform includes social sign-in, collaboration features, live chat with instructors and a community-driven Q&A to reduce dropouts and support learners. At launch the startup is focused on beginner content while planning to expand intermediate and advanced curricula and add services to connect students with employers. LearnStreet was conceived with involvement from Vinod Khosla and Gunjan Sinha and lists Sanjay Desai as Product VP. The company emphasizes practical, real-world application of coding rather than purely theoretical skill-and-drill approaches. Financially, LearnStreet received a $1 million investment from Vinod Khosla through Khosla Ventures and he has joined the company’s board.
