About the Company
HyperionDev is one of the leading providers of accelerated tech education in EMEA and one of the earliest pioneers of coding bootcamps globally. We partner with top universities, including Imperial College London, The London School of Economics, The University of Edinburgh, and Stellenbosch University to deliver structured programmes that help people launch careers in software development, data, and design.
Our mission is to close the global tech skills gap. We combine high-quality curriculum, human mentorship, and expert code review, supported by a distributed workforce in Southern Africa. This model allows us to deliver accessible, career-focused education at scale, reaching learners in over 60 countries each year.
We’ve been recognised as one of the world’s leading edtech scaleups and have received backing from Meta, who recognised HyperionDev as one of the most socially impactful startups operating in Africa. We’ve also partnered with organisations such as the UK’s Department for Education to provide funded access to our programmes, helping learners transition into roles at companies including AstraZeneca and the NHS.
We are a profitable, primarily bootstrapped business, backed by nearly 2,000 investors following one of the largest crowdfunding rounds in edtech.
Alongside this, we are building HyperDev, an AI-powered coding assistant with a human in the loop.
We also operate Longdue, an independent studio focused on creating deeply narrative, psychologically rich RPG experiences.
