About DIV

DIV Co., Ltd. is a Japanese IT venture company that operates "TECHCAMP," a programming school designed to foster technology talent. Founded in March 2012 by Yukinari Mako during his fourth year at university, the company initially focused on developing social networking services. After those services failed to gain traction, DIV pivoted to the education sector, launching "TECH::CAMP" in 2014. This move addressed a market gap for services that offered structured, short-term programming education with readily available support.

Read full description

The company's business model is centered on providing intensive, bootcamp-style programming education to individuals seeking to either change careers into the tech industry or enhance their existing skills for career advancement. Revenue is generated through tuition fees for its various courses. DIV serves a broad client base, from beginners and students to established professionals and entrepreneurs. In January 2023, Yukinari Mako stepped down as CEO and was succeeded by Kei Ishihara, the former CFO who had been with the company since 2016 and was instrumental in its growth.

TECHCAMP offers several programs tailored to different career goals. Its main offering is an intensive, multi-month course aimed at career changers, which covers practical skills for full-stack development, including front-end, back-end, database management, and cloud deployment. The curriculum is self-paced, using original online materials, but is supported by mentors who can be consulted anytime. The school provides comprehensive career support, including resume building and interview preparation, to help graduates secure positions as engineers. In addition to its flagship career-change program, TECHCAMP also offers courses for continuing education, covering areas like AI, data science, and design, allowing individuals to learn specific technologies to apply in their current roles or personal projects.
