Platzi is Latin America's leading technology education platform, teaching millions of students across the Spanish-speaking world. Founded by Freddy Vega and Christian Van Der Henst, Platzi offers comprehensive online courses in programming, AI, data science, design, marketing, cybersecurity, cloud computing, and business skills. The platform's unique approach combines pre-recorded video content with live interaction and real-time collaboration features, creating an engaging learning experience that drives completion rates significantly higher than traditional MOOCs.
With over 6 million students and 4,000+ corporate clients, Platzi is on a mission to transform Latin America into a technology superpower. The company became the first LATAM-focused startup accepted into Y Combinator in 2015 and has since raised significant funding including a $62M Series B round. Platzi's flexible, subscription-based model makes technology education accessible to working professionals who cannot afford traditional university programs, with many students increasing their income by 2-10x after completing courses.
