Moringa revisited: catching up with Audrey Cheng on the coding school's international expansion
Description
In this episode, I catch up with Audrey Cheng, the founder of Moringa School.
We first did an interview in October of 2016, and so it had been over 2.5 years since we last spoke.
The initial episode is called "Coding Schools", and so be sure to scroll back through the archives to give it a listen, if you're interested.
Moringa School is still going strong, and now has a presence in Rwanda, as well as having taught over 1,500 students.
The fundamentals remain the same - providing a relevant skill set to people entering the workforce in emerging markets - and we chat about how the company has evolved recently.
This includes expansion into different fields from just coding (such as data science), greater outreach (such as programmes for low-income students), partnerships they've brokered with international agencies, and how they are at the stage of codifying their culture for the next phase of expansion.
We did this interview in a hotel lobby and so at times, you might hear some background noise from other tables.
I hope, however, that this doesn't detract from what is a very interesting interview from the founder of a company clearly on an upward trajectory.
