CourseReport estimated that the sector grossed a collective $309 million this year. Growth was witnessed especially among online and corporate trainers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coursereport.com\/reports\/coding-bootcamp-market-size-research-2019\">according to their annual report<\/a>. 2019, however, witnessed another important trend: edtech companies have begun to acquire some of the largest coding bootcamps.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Zovio\/Bridgepoint Education Acquires Fullstack Academy, One of the First Coding Bootcamps<\/h2>\n<p>On March 12, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/a-year-after-separating-from-its-for-profit-colleges-bridgepoint-education-makes-strategic-acquisition\/\">Zovio acquired Fullstack Academy<\/a> for $17.5 million in cash and 2.5 million common shares. Formerly Bridgepoint Education, Zovio had spent the past year consolidating and divesting its former for-profit college holdings of Ashford University and University of the Rockies. The two institutions combined and transitioned into a private non-profit. Bridgepoint, meanwhile, pivoted into an Online Program Manager (OPM) and rebranded as Zovio.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Fullstack Academy was one of the first coding bootcamps. It opened in New York in 2012 and continues to operate today with a series of full-time and part-time programs. Interestingly, the bootcamp offers exclusively in-person instruction on their New York and Chicago campuses.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The acquisition indicates that Zovio was not ready to leave the brick-and-mortar for-profit education sector behind. As Zovio CEO Andrew Clark stated at the time, \u201cFullstack Academy provides a platform from which we can expand into other high-demand employment verticals in need of qualified professionals. Together, Fullstack Academy and Bridgepoint are an excellent fit with a common vision of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>2U Acquires Trilogy<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Zovio acquisition was eclipsed less than a month later when another OPM, 2U, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/2u-acquires-trilogy-4-takeaways\/\">acquired Trilogy Education for the total sum of $750 million<\/a>. That amount was made up by $350 million in 2U shares, $150 million in cash, and $250 million loaned to 2U by Owl Rock Capital.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Trilogy Education, launched in 2015, had made a name for themselves by partnering with universities to offer in-person certificate training programs, many of which involved market-aligned programming skills.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>2U, meanwhile, had long operated primarily in the field of online degrees with a SaaS model.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Speaking with <i>Mad Money\u2019s <\/i>Jim Cramer, 2U CEO Chip Paucek explained that a good deal of their work was limited by their inability to have a brick-and-mortar presence on campus.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a variety of programs where we do local clinical placement,\u201d Paucek said. \u201cSo for an example of one, we offer a Master of Science in Midwifery with Georgetown (University). Well, you wouldn\u2019t go to the midwife who delivered the virtual baby. We power a local clinical experience all over the country to allow people to go in to deliver babies in that program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the time, it appeared that 2U had overpaid to close the deal. Trilogy had raised a Series B round of $50 million in 2018 that valued the company at $545 million. With hindsight, however, 2U very well might have had the last laugh. After a Q2 earnings call in which the company significantly altered their guidance, 2U stock <a href=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/2u-continues-to-sign-new-clients-despite-summer-setbacks\/\">lost over half its value<\/a>. The situation was less-than-ideal for former Trilogy owners who at one time held $350 million in 2U stock.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Chegg Pays $80 Million in Cash for Thinkful<\/h2>\n<p>The final significant coding bootcamp acquisition of 2019 was announced in September. The coding bootcamp Thinkful <a href=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/chegg-announces-80-million-cash-deal-to-acquire-thinkful-an-online-coding-bootcamp-provider\/\">accepted $80 million in cash from Chegg<\/a>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Thinkful was another coding bootcamp of the class of 2012. However, the company operates primarily online, while also prioritizing one-on-one mentoring.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Chegg\u2019s decision to acquire the company marked yet another chapter in their colorful history. The company began as a textbook rental service in the aughts, but experienced significant turbulence in the 2010s. The company reported a net loss of $65 million in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>But with CEO Dan Rosensweig\u2019s hand at the helm, the company significantly invested in a variety of digital learning and tutoring services. In their <a href=\"https:\/\/s21.q4cdn.com\/596622263\/files\/doc_financials\/2019\/q3\/Chegg-Q319-Investor-Deck-FINAL.pdf\">Q3 earnings call this year<\/a>, they increased their annual guidance to a net profit in the range of $407-$409 million.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured Image: Nate Grant, Unsplash.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a decline in overall coding bootcamp enrollment in 2018, 2019 witnessed a rebound to record levels.
