Galvanize Plans Expansion To Los Angeles

Galvanize, a company which operates a network of locations teaching software engineering skills--and which often serve as hubs of startup activity nationwide, offering up coworking for technology startups, events, and more--is planning to expand its efforts in Los Angeles, after raising $32M and buying another "coding bootcamp" operator, Hack Reactor. Galvanize, which is based out of denver but has locations in Austin, Boulder, Denver, New York, Phoenix, San Francisco, and Seattle, said the acquisition and funding will add Los Angeles to its "innovation hubs" technology students, alumni, entrepreneurs, startups and established companies. The $32M funding round, a Series C for the company, was led by Catalyst Investors, and also included New Markets Venture Partners, ABS Capital Partners, University Ventures and the Colorado Impact Fund.
