    Director of Policy

    About Pursuit

    Our mission is to create economic transformation.

    By training low-income adults to launch and advance careers as software engineers, we help our Fellows go from earning $18,000 to over $90,000 starting salary on average, adding an estimated $2M in lifetime earnings.

    Pursuit partners with leading companies like Blackstone, USV, Citi, Peloton, and Uber to employ Fellows in career-defining engineering roles and supports them with on-the-job training to ensure potential translates to performance.

    Since 2013, Pursuit has created ~$1B in total lifetime wage gains, creating lasting economic mobility that spans generations.


    Pursuit's proven solution is built on two interconnected components: training (which includes community development, Core pre-job training, and Commit on-the-job training) and a financial product (known as Bond).

    However, growing training alone will not meet the magnitude of need nor solve new societal challenges ahead.

    The typical expectation is to expand our training to other cities, but this will not come anywhere close to creating good jobs for millions of low-income Americans.

    Instead, our strategy for scaled impact is to evolve Pursuit Bond into a financial product and tools for other organizations, jobs, and places.

    We believe that this will not only create good jobs for millions of low-income Americans but will also generate a new trillion-dollar market directly tied to results in the long term.

    We are One Big Team

    The passionate and collaborative team at Pursuit gives its all to achieve our mission. And it's not just staff.

    We work with employer partners that love hiring our Fellows because they are so well prepared, ranging from big financial firms to scrappy startups, and everything in between.

    We also activate and engage hundreds of volunteers that come from all areas of the tech industry.

    These experts and professionals help keep our curriculum fresh and our standards for achievement high by participating in our admissions process, as well as program-specific activities such as interview training, DemoDays, Hackathons, and Capstone projects.
