Coding Giants secures up to €6m for international expansion

Orbit Capital provides up to €6m in venture debt

Polish technology education provider Coding Giants has secured a venture debt facility of up to €6 million from Orbit Capital to help expand its international business, Tech.eu reports. The financing gives the company additional backing to take its courses for children and teenagers into more markets.

Coding Giants generates approximately $15 million in annual recurring revenue, according to Tech.eu. The funding is debt rather than an equity round, and the reported ceiling of €6 million should not be read as an amount already drawn in full.

Eight years of growth across 13 markets

Founded eight years ago, Coding Giants now operates in 13 markets across Europe and the Americas and has taught more than 130,000 students, Tech.eu reports. Its international expansion therefore builds on an established cross-border operation rather than a first move outside Poland.

The company offers courses in coding, artificial intelligence and mathematics. Tech.eu describes a teaching model that pairs instruction with hands-on experimentation, helping students explore how digital tools function and apply that knowledge to making something themselves.

Founders and lender point to skills and scalability

Co-founder Dawid Leśniewicz told Tech.eu that Coding Giants’ purpose extends beyond proficiency with individual tools. He argued that its subjects nurture reasoning, curiosity and the ability to solve problems, equipping young people to help shape technology rather than simply consume it.

Orbit Capital’s Jakub Kaczmarek cited the potential to scale Coding Giants’ business model, increasing demand for its courses and the team’s experience of expanding internationally as reasons for providing the financing, according to Tech.eu. His comments place the company’s ability to operate across borders alongside demand for education in the lender’s investment rationale.

US and Mexico lead the next expansion phase

Coding Giants plans to direct the financing primarily towards strengthening its US and Mexican operations, Tech.eu reports. The company already has an office in Mexico, giving it an existing local base for the next stage of growth in the Americas.

Spain is another named growth opportunity, alongside other markets. According to Tech.eu, Coding Giants intends to pursue both organic expansion and acquisitions. For its European growth plans, that leaves two routes open: developing the existing business and buying operations that can extend its reach.
