Participated · Seed · May 2026
Coco Coders operates a live, instructor-led subscription model that teaches children ages 6 to 14 coding and AI concepts through rotating four-week, theme-based modules. Its lessons connect technical skills to real-world industries and careers while emphasizing problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking. The company serves students across all 50 U.S. states, the United Kingdom, and more than 10 countries. Coco Coders has grown ARR from $500,000 at the time of a May 2024 raise to $1.5 million two years later. With the new seed funding, it plans to expand curriculum development, grow its teacher network, and deepen school partnerships and school-based programming. The company is increasing its presence in Iowa, Nevada, North Dakota, and South Dakota to accelerate classroom partnerships and outreach.
