Our Story

Our Origin Story

01 Founders London was born from a simple belief: that access to quality education should not be a privilege, but a right.

Founded as part of the 01Edu network, we draw inspiration from the revolutionary model pioneered by 42 Paris in 2013. 01Edu has since expanded to create free coding schools across Europe, training thousands of developers through peer-to-peer learning and project-based education.

In London, we are building on this legacy while adapting to the unique challenges and opportunities of the UK's tech ecosystem. Our mission is to democratize access to software engineering education, creating pathways for talented individuals who might otherwise never enter the tech industry.

Values

Our Mission & Values

Free Education

No tuition fees, no hidden costs. We believe quality education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial background.

Peer-to-Peer Learning

Learning from and teaching each other creates stronger developers. Our methodology emphasizes collaboration, mentorship, and community building.

Radical Transparency

We do not make false promises. We share real outcomes, real challenges, and real opportunities so you can make informed decisions.
