About LaunchPy

Helping software engineers transition to high-impact AI careers

Our Story

LaunchPy was founded in 2023 by a team of AI practitioners and educators who saw a critical gap in the industry: While demand for AI engineers was skyrocketing, there weren't enough specialized programs to help experienced software engineers make the transition.

As former software engineers ourselves who successfully pivoted into AI careers, we understood the unique challenges faced by developers looking to enter this field. Traditional CS programs were too theoretical and generalized, while most bootcamps lacked the technical depth required for true AI expertise.

We built LaunchPy to be the program we wished we had when making our own career transitions—focused, practical, and specifically designed for experienced software developers.
