Ashu Desai's Company Details
Make School is redesigning higher education for the 21st century. Our emphasis is on ensuring relevance of education for the modern economy and accessibility to students of all backgrounds. Students earn a Bachelor’s in Applied Computer Science while studying liberal arts, computer science theory, and product development. Our outcomes are on par with schools like Stanford and MIT with alumni working at companies like Facebook, Google, Apple and Y Combinator startups. Students can graduate in 2 years and pay tuition through Income Share Agreements as a percentage of their salary once employed. We also provide low income students with living assistance to help cover their living expenses. 45% of our students are underrepresented students of color, while 66% are from low-mid income families. Make School was founded in 2012 and is funded by Learn Capital, Y Combinator, Kapor Capital, Fresco Capital, Tim Draper, and Alexis Ohanian.
