Hack Club Raises $4M to Empower the Next Generation of Teen Innovators

Hack Club, the pioneering community founded in 2015 by a determined 16-year-old, is thrilled to announce the successful raising of $4,000,000 in its latest funding round. This injection of capital marks a significant milestone for the organization, which today serves around 25,000 teenagers across more than 30 countries every year. At its core, Hack Club is dedicated to building the largest and most vibrant community of high school coders around the world—a space where young tech enthusiasts learn by doing, connect deeply with others, and gain inspiration that fuels both technical prowess and personal growth. The company’s unique approach blends hands-on, open-source projects with engaging social experiences—ranging from a transparent “bank” for nonprofits and a game console that requires building a game for access to a comprehensive guide to assembly language, to a cross-country hackathon taking place on a train. The new funds will be strategically deployed to enhance these innovative learning tools and community-driven platforms, ensuring that Hack Club continues to shape the future for young developers everywhere. Investment in these areas not only accelerates technical learning but also instills positive values and nurtures lifelong bonds among peers through wholesome social spaces, both online and in-person. This funding round solidifies Hack Club's commitment to inspiring and supporting teenagers to pursue their passions by providing an environment where creative collaboration meets cutting-edge technology. As Hack Club embarks on this exciting new chapter, it reaffirms its belief that every teenager can become an agent of change, equipped with the skills and confidence to build a better future for themselves and their communities.
