Wilco raises $7 million Seed for upskilling platform for software developers | CTech
Summary
Wilco was founded in 2021 by Shem Magnezi (CTO), Alon Carmel (CPO), and On Freund (CEO), who was a senior executive in WeWork until last year. In a recent survey, software engineers stated that their biggest career motivator is taking on new challenges and continuous learning. “To build successful careers, developers need to acquire and continuously practice a wide range of skills beyond coding,” said Freund. “Many soft skills and technical areas of expertise — like team communication, debugging complex systems, and responding to crises — are picked up by developers only with countless hours of hands-on experience, which is hard to come by.” On Wilco’s platform, developers join a fantasy tech company — a game-like experience designed to accelerate their professional growth. At their “new workplace”, engineers go on quests that challenge them to navigate complex life-like scenarios while utilizing real tools and technologies.
