Reify Academy

Reify Academy offers a 22-week online startup bootcamp which combines entrepreneurship and coding skills to enable students to build and launch a tech product. The first 10 weeks of the course covers software development basics, pair programming, and technologies like Elm, GraphQL, Agile Project Management, and Lean Startup. The final 12 weeks of the program is when students build their minimum viable product (MVP). Throughout both sections of the course students receive 1-on-1 mentorship. Students can pay extra if they want more mentor sessions during the program. Reify’s goal is to help students launch their own businesses, and the curriculum focuses on technologies that will help students scale their businesses quickly.

To apply, candidates should register their interest via the Reify Academy website, then take part in an intro call where they discuss their business idea, commitment, and expectations with a Reify staff member. If the candidate’s goals and needs are a good fit for the program, they will be accepted. Students must complete the first 10 weeks of the course (Start with Basics) before they can progress to the final 12 weeks (Create Your MVP).

After program completion, students’ MVPs will be ready to be tested by consumers. Reify Academy introduces graduates to an entrepreneurial community, provides resources for product iteration, and mentoring sessions for up to 9 months after graduation.
