Building the bridge between ambition and opportunity.
NextED exists because the gap between what engineering schools teach and what product companies need has never been wider. We're closing that gap, one engineer at a time.
Our Mission
To equip ambitious engineers with production-grade skills, real-world portfolios, and the career confidence needed to land high-impact roles at top product companies. We believe talent shouldn't be limited by educational background or geography.
Our Vision
A world where every engineer has access to high-quality, industry-validated education that directly translates to career growth. We're building the pathway from learning to portfolio, with industry-standard projects as our core commitment.
Why NextED exists
The problem we're solving isn't theoretical—it's personal. Too many talented engineers struggle to break into product tech despite having the aptitude. The issue? A fundamental disconnect between academic learning and industry needs.
The problem we saw
- Engineers graduate with theory but lack production-ready skills
- Portfolios don't showcase the depth recruiters actually look for
- Learning focuses on theory without real-world project application
- No bridge between learning concepts and applying them at scale
Our solution
- Mentor-led code reviews from senior engineers at product companies
- Production-grade projects that become your portfolio centerpieces
- Industry-standard projects that become portfolio centerpieces
- Industry-validated curriculum reviewed by hiring partners
