Tech Elevator classrooms were in person before COVID-19 restrictions. Campus locations will reopen when it is safe to do so.
Cleveland technology education company Tech Elevator has enjoyed a wild ride since its inception in 2015, which co-founder and CEO Anthony Hughes compares to a rider getting their foot caught in the stirrup of a particularly swift horse.
Far from feeling out of control, Hughes is ready for the adventure s next leg, which began last November, when K12 Inc. acquired Tech Elevator for $23.5 million. Now known as Stride Inc., the Virginia-based public company slotted Hughes creation into Galvanize, a subsidiary purchased last January that offers technology training on 10 campuses. Tech Elevator continues to independently operate six campuses, providing a 14-week boot camp designed to transform students into well-paid software developers.
