In 2015, Codementor launched Live Group classes[7] and partnered with online learning platform Udemy.[8]

Codementor was one of the startups chosen by the Taiwanese Government to represent Taiwan in the 2016 TechCrunch Disrupt hackathon in San Francisco.[9][10] In March 2016, Codementor partnered with Africa-based startup Andela.[11]

In 2016, Codementor raised $1.6 million in a seed funding round.[12]
