Codementor is a digital platform that links freelance programming mentors with developers around the globe. The company maintains offices in both Taipei, Taiwan, and San Francisco, California.
History
Established in 2013 by Weiting Liu, Codementor gained early investment from TMI, a venture capital fund led by Kai-Fu Lee, and participated in the Techstars accelerator program based in Seattle that same year. The service was officially introduced to the market in 2014.
By 2015, Codementor had broadened its educational services by launching Live Group classes, thereby enriching its suite of online learning options.
In 2016, Codementor was chosen by the Taiwanese government to represent Taiwan at the TechCrunch Disrupt hackathon. Additionally, in March 2016, the company entered into a strategic alliance with Africa-based startup Andela, expanding its international presence.
Later that year, Codementor secured $1.6 million in seed capital aimed at enhancing its freelance developer marketplace.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Codementor introduced an initiative connecting programmers with software projects addressing pandemic challenges, underscoring its commitment to responsive technology solutions.
