Ironhack

What Ironhack does

Ironhack is a private international tech education company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Madrid, Spain, operating immersive bootcamp programs for individuals and corporate clients. The company delivers 12 distinct programs — AI Web Development, Data Analytics, AI-UX/UI Design, Cybersecurity, Data Science & Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, DevOps & Cloud Computing, Digital Marketing, AI Consulting, Data Engineering, Cloud Engineering, and AI Product Management — through ten physical campuses (Barcelona, Madrid, Amsterdam, Berlin, Lisbon, London, Paris, San Juan) and a remote/online channel, in 9-11 week full-time or 26-week part-time formats. The company reports 18,000+ graduates, 600+ employer partners, and 70+ student nationalities, and its curriculum embeds cloud tools (AWS, Azure, Terraform) and AI tooling (LLMs, Copilot) into instruction.

Ironhack monetizes through one-time bootcamp tuition, supplemented by a financing stack the company says 7 in 10 students use — Income Share Agreements, employer sponsorships, and monthly payment plans — plus a separate enterprise training channel for corporate upskilling. Go-to-market is primarily product-led/self-serve via the ironhack.com website with content marketing, SEO, webinars, podcasts, free resources (including the State of Tech 2023 report), alumni testimonials, and regional events driving applications. The company is incorporated in the United States as Ironhack, Inc. and is led by co-founders Gonzalo Manrique and Ariel Quinones as co-CEOs; the leadership team also includes heads of organic acquisition, student experience, general management, and education.

Ironhack has raised approximately $31.9M in disclosed venture funding across four rounds between 2017 and 2021, from Lumos Capital Group, Creas, JME Ventures, Brighteye Ventures, Endeavor Catalyst, Bossa Invest, and Acurio Ventures, with the most recent being a $20M Series B in January 2021. No post-2021 financing, M&A activity, revenue disclosures, or named enterprise customers are present in the available data, leaving growth economics partially opaque.
