ANDELA-Connecting brilliance with opportunities


Andela is a global job placement network for software developers. Andela focuses on sustainable careers,connecting technologists with long-term engagements, access to inter-nation roles, competitive compensation, and career coaching through the Andela learning community.
Andela was founded in 2014 by Jeremy Johnson, Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, Nadayar Enegesi, Brice Nkengsa, Lan Carnevala and Christina Sass. In may 2014, Andela launched their first recruitment Eyde in Lagos by putting their first call for applications on Twitter. The company hired their first Cohort-four Nigerian software engineers after receiving 700 applications for 4 spots.
In 2018, Andela celebrated the first two sets of engineers to complete the four year program.
In 2019, Christina Sass stepped down from her full-time role as president and transitioned into a supporting role as the chair of the Andela Alumni Group. One of the six original founders, Jeremy Johnson continues to work at Andela.
While the initial route for engineers to join the company was via the Andela Fellowship, a four-year program geared towards junior engineers, but this changed in 2019. Andela widened its hiring criteria for mid and senior level engineers in places such as Lagos, Nairobi and Kampala. After their first remote expansions to Ghana and Egypt, the entire organisation went fully remote in 2020.
As of 2021, Andela provided technologists from six continents accessed to opportunities with global companies on long-term embedded contracts. Andela’s applicants can undertake training in software languages such as Ruby on Rails, Java Script, Python, Ruby, React Native, Node, PHP and more.
On June 25th, 2015, Andela secured 10 million dollars in Series A funding. Spark capital led the investment and many of the seed investors participated.
The following year, The Chan Zuckerberg initiative founded and owned by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan led in Andela’s 24 million dollars Series B round of funding, making it the first lead investment ever for the foundation.
In January 2019, Generation investment Management, a sustainable investment. management firm, led Andela’s 100 million dollars Series D round of funding, bringing Andela’s total venture funding to 180 million dollars. The Series D also included Serena William’s investment platform; Serena Ventures.
On September 29th, 2021, Andela announced 200 million dollars investment led by Soft Bank Vision Fund 2 with participation from new investor Whale Rock and existing investors including Generation Investment Management, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and Spark Capital. Lydia Jett, finding partner at Soft Bank Investment Advisers, joined Andela’s Board of Directors. The Series E financing, valued the global engineering network at 1.5 billion dollars.
Nigeria would be so much better with Tech Companies like Andela.
