Hi HN, we're Aakash and Siddhant of Jovian ( https://www.jovian.ai/ ). We run a 6-month program that helps working professionals with a background in programming, statistics or analytics land their first data science job. Four years ago, we quit our jobs and spent several months learning data science and deep learning. We completed several online courses, read some books, and participated in some Kaggle competitions.…
Hey Aakash, Fan of Jovian and your content on YT especially published on FreeCodeCamp. I'm just wondering what does this access to YC mean to Jovian and also wondering what would the money be used for? I always thought of Jovian as a lean business but this surprised me. Also are you planning to build the Notebook-like platform (that it was before) more or the future is only data science bootcamp?
Our goal is to offer practical & affordable data science education to millions of people around the world, and joining Y Combinator is going to help us execute on our vision faster.
We launched the bootcamp because we saw a need for a more hands-on and intensive program to help our users make a career transition to data science. However, we will continue to offer more free courses and improve the notebook-based learning platform.
