Startup Name: Edabit
Tagline: Learn to code (for free) with interactive challenges.
Elevator Pitch: Gain XP, unlock achievements and climb the leaderboard. Edabit goes beyond basic syntax and teaches the user how to think like a programmer. Typically, a beginner must go directly from learning syntax to making things without any real understanding of how the syntax is used to solve problems. In other words, the beginner has not yet learned how to *think like a programmer*, yet they are expected to solve problems like a programmer. Edabit was created to bridge this gap.
Target Market: Education
How will you make money?: Talent recruiting, course marketplace
How much capital have you raised?: None
