Hack Reactor History: Explore Our Evolution Over the Years

As one of the original coding bootcamps established more than a decade ago, we have a rich history of providing software engineering education.

Explore the Timeline of Our History in Online Tech Education

Both Galvanize and Hack Reactor are founded as technology-focused education trailblazers. The first Hack Reactor Coding Bootcamp is launched in San Francisco.

As a pioneer in online tech education, Hack Reactor launches the first online software engineering bootcamp.

Galvanize formally acquires Hack Reactor, combining the forces of two coding school leaders.

Recognizing our leadership in adult online tech education, Stride Inc.Opens a new window, a premier provider of innovative, high-quality, tech-enabled education solutions, including tutoring servicesOpens a new window, acquires Galvanize.

We are awarded a Prime contract with the Department of Defense to provide digital-skills training for active duty service members.

Moved by our belief that more people should have the opportunity to pursue this fulfilling career path, we launch a new coding bootcamp designed for those with zero to beginner-level coding experience.

We announced consolidation with another industry-leading tech educator, Tech Elevator. Both companies were acquired by Stride Inc. in 2020. The consolidation of operations brings together a hiring network of over 4,500 companies and an engaged association of over 18,000 alumni.
