What makes us different, you ask?
It’s a secret sauce with two ingredients:
The first is our network of mentors. CEOs and investors are must-haves, but they’re not the only ingredients to success. We partner with specialists in marketing, design, community management, and other disciplines to offer truly well-rounded support.
The second is The Iron Yard community. Along with supportive alumni (in the same town), our program is located in a space that provides coworking for all sorts of professionals, intensive code education, and hosts nationally-known technology and design events.
Did we mention that the best coffee shop on the east coast is moving into our Greenville space, and our Spartanburg Program is one block from a brewery?
