With a fresh $45 million round of investment announced Monday, tech educator Galvanize plans to expand the way it teaches the business of web development and data science to students and helps companies looking to upgrade skills of existing employees. Online and off-campus classes intermingled with the traditional six-month, in-building program are in the works.

“The idea that you’re done learning at 22 and have the same job for the rest of your life is long gone,” said Jim Deters, who co-founded the entrepreneurial-minded coworking space and school in 2012. “We want to be the place where anyone with ADD — aptitude, drive and determination — can acquire the skills they need. And we want to own the continuous-learning opportunity.”

And own it, Galvanize just might. The company went from opening its first location in Denver’s Golden Triangle to nine campuses nationwide in four years. Other bootcamps emerging in the metro area include Turing School of Software and Design and SeedPaths, both of which opened in 2014. Skill Distillery in Denver taught its first class last year. General Assembly, which recently acquired a Canadian competitor and now has 25 campuses, opened its first Denver school this year. (SeedPaths stopped teaching in June 2015.)

“Galvanize is up there as one of the larger ones along with Dev Bootcamp and General Assembly,” said Liz Eggleston, cofounder of Course Report, a research firm that tracks coding bootcamps and has about 350 in its database. “The number of graduates isn’t as high as we expected, but that’s probably because their program is six-months long and more expensive. Other schools are 10 to 12 weeks. Galvanize takes its time.”

This new breed of technology training schools tout high success rates and serious salary increases. At Galvanize, 91 percent of graduates found a job within six months with an average salary of $76,838 for web developers and $111,485 for data science. The Turing School calculates that 92.4 percent of its graduates have a full-time job within 120 days of graduating and earn an average $74,500.

But many tech bootcamps, including Galvanize, aren’t required by law to share student outcomes. They’re not regulated by federal laws and don’t qualify for federal student aid — at least not yet. The U.S. Department of Education, however, is in the process of opening up federal student loan access to bootcamp students. The agency is expected to announce the first schools on Tuesday.

“Everyone has been talking about how to standardize things and how to get all the schools to report outcomes in a similar way. But we’re still in that stage,” Eggleston said. “I’m sure some people are talking about regulation, but the sell of these schools is that they’re not held down by the same red tape and bureaucracy that a traditional university has.”

The Turing School, which is not for profit and can’t accept venture capital, is pushing for standards to help potential students rate programs, especially those priced in the $20,000-per-session range that Turing and Galvanize charge. Such reports should include what kinds of jobs graduates get and how long it takes them to get a full-time job, said Jorge Téllez, Turing’s director of growth and operations.

“Do most become software developers or are they getting jobs as marketing managers? There’s nothing wrong with (marketing managers) but we should be held accountable,” Téllez said. Turing published an extensive report of its program last spring at report.turing.io.

Galvanize and others have partnered with private loan programs like Skills Fund in Austin, Tex. In particular, Galvanize does a shared-risk loan through Skills Fund. If a Galvanize graduate doesn’t get a job, Galvanize doesn’t get paid, Deters said. Galvanize also offers scholarships through its non-profit organization.

The new $45 million Series B round, which builds on the $18 million Galvanize raised in 2014, was led by ABS Capital Partners. Several local investors also jumped in, including the Colorado Impact Fund in Denver, Aspen Grove Capital in Avon and Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei. Maffei’s involvement is personal and Liberty is not an investor or customer of Galvanize.

Deters said that the goal with the new funding is to finance the business and create more pathways for people to get the tech skills they want and need. When Galvanize started, it offered six-month web development courses that required students to attend full-time. But recently, it’s been adding night classes and other less time-intensive options.

“We believe we have the opportunity to create more pathways for people, by building new offerings, new programs. We will start to hybrid out our programs so you can start online part-time before finishing on campus,” Deters said.

Galvanize, which employs 139 people in Denver and more than 300 nationwide, also has seen growth in requests from large companies needing to retrain employees. Sometimes Galvanize will send instructors to those clients or the clients will want employees to spend time at the startup space.

“We had to build the skill sets that the industry wants. And now, (companies) are coming to us saying they have hundreds of engineers that we want to re-skill and up-skill,” Deters said. “We want to be the club (to join) whether you’re a first-time engineer or part of a large Fortune 500 company.”
