History
Flatiron School was founded in 2012 by Adam Enbar and Avi Flombaum.
In 2017, the New York State Attorney General sued Flatiron School for operating without a license and making false statements about the earning potential of its graduates. The two parties reached a $375,000 settlement. Flatiron School claimed a 98.5% employment rate but this included apprentices and freelance workers, while the claimed average salary of $74,447 only included graduates in full-time employment.[2]
In 2018, Yale University announced a collaboration with the Flatiron School during Yale's "Summer Session" — together, the institutions offered a Web Development Bootcamp for Summer 2019, which offered two Yale College credits for students.
The organization has made efforts to promote parity in tech, working with other companies to sponsor course scholarships for women,[3][4] LGBTQ+ people,[5] and members of underserved communities.[6]
Takeovers and acquisitions
Flatiron School was acquired by WeWork, a collaborative workspace company, in October 2017.[7] Following the acquisition, they launched Access Labs, a joint effort to make tech education accessible to low-income earners in New York.[8] In August 2018, Flatiron School acquired Designation, a Chicago-based UX/UI design school,[9] and expanded design courses elsewhere in December 2018.[10]
Since being acquired by WeWork,[7] the company has expanded, opening campuses in Atlanta,[11] Austin,[12] Chicago,[13] Dallas,[14] Denver,[15] Houston,[16] London,[17] San Francisco,[18] Seattle,[19] and Washington, D.C.[20]
In 2020, WeWork sold Flatiron School to Carrick Capital Partners.[21]
