## About

Founded in 2020 and based in Singapore, Rocket Academy operates as an ed-tech company. The company was founded by CEO Kai Yuan Neo. In August 2021, Rocket Academy raised SGD 1.5 million in Seed funding from individual investors and venture capitalists in Southeast Asia.

The company provides online coding courses and trains software engineers for job placements at technology companies. Rocket Academy has developed two courses: Coding Basics, an introductory course for beginners to learn the basics of coding; and Software Engineering Bootcamp (SEB), which trains students in software engineering.

The company plans to use its funding from September 2021 to grow its coding school in Southeast Asia helping to address the current industry-wide shortage of software engineers. Rocket Academy also plans to expand its business in Hong Kong and Australia.
