Ariel Camus is the Founder and CEO of Microverse, an online school that helps anyone become a high-paid, international software developer. The best part? The program costs $0 until you get employed. They are the first ones to scale peer-to-peer model (no other school/university has been able to do it).
Microverse has also raised over $17M+ and was part of the Y
Combinator 2019 Batch. Thousands of people from over 100 countries
apply to join Microverse every month, and hundreds of
remotely-employed alumni from Colombia to Nigeria are making 3-10x
their previous salary working for companies like Microsoft, VMware,
Huawei, and Globant.
Before starting Microverse, Ariel was the Co-Founder and CEO of
TouristEye, a mobile app for planning trips and discovering new
things to do while traveling. He grew the app to 1M users in 180+
countries before selling it to Lonely Planet in 2013. After the
sale, Ariel worked as a Senior Product Manager of Lonely Planet's
website, with over 150 million unique visitors per year.
Ariel joins me on the Tech Talks Daily Podcast to discuss the
instant solution to the massive shortage of software engineering
talent and why ignoring the solution will make the problem even
worse. We also discuss how remote hiring can help tech companies
build a more diverse workplace. Finally we explore the future of
work and the wider investment opportunities in the new world of
remote work.
