S8 Bonus: EdTech Scale Engine: Bypassing Video Bootcamps with Live Code Execution and AI-Guided Mentorship Rails with Barak Glanz, Co-Founder of Coddy.tech

Barak Glanz is 26 years old, and has done quite a few things in his life. He served in the Israeli Navy prior to jumping into the professional world. He worked for Meta as a student, and has has a few impressive startup failures in different sectors. Outside of tech, he is a rock climber, weight lifter, and likes to play chess. He mentioned that he beat someone in 10 moves before, but attributed it to mistakes of his competitor.

A year and a half ago, Barak and his childhood friends shared the personal struggle of learning how to code online. What they noticed was that the current solutions didn't offer helpful ways to practice building real world projects. So they built their own.

This is the creation story of Coddy.tech.
