Founded in 2012 by Freddy Vega and Christian Van Der Henst, Platzi offers thousands of online courses on a range of subjects including web development, programming, digital marketing, cryptocurrencies, English language, and soft skills. Additionally, the company provides live online classes, physical certification diplomas, and 24/7 access to courses for students to study at their own pace. As of December 2021, the company served over 2.5 million students and thousands of corporate clients including Unity, IBM, and Google Cloud. Platzi currently has around 200 employees and offices in Mexico City, Bogota, and San Francisco. 

In December 2021, Platzi partnered with Meta Immersive Learning, Facebook’s immersive learning platform, to award 1,000 scholarships to those interested in learning about content creation in Spark AR, Facebook’s AR experience development studio.

In December 2021, Platzi raised USD 60 million in a Series B funding round led by Prosus. The funds will be used to expand its offering in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, grow the company’s offering for corporations, build strategic partnerships with large technology companies and governments, and hire new employees across product development, content development, and sales.
