About us
Breaking down the barriers to help students succeed in tech
Our story
A decade ago, Erika and Arnelle met in high school, where computer science was a rarity and engineering connections were non-existent. College at Yale and Stanford led them to explore computer science, despite lacking coding skills. To succeed in their intro CS courses, they formed their own support networks. This effort paid off, securing Erika and Arnelle top software engineering internships at Facebook and Google.
Reuniting in the Bay Area post-college, they realized their shared journey. Erika, a Product Manager at LinkedIn Learning, and Arnelle, a Consultant at Bain, launched Zimela, an app with 5,000+ users and Apple's App of the Day feature.
Edlyft extends the support they created, empowering more students to excel in computer science and secure top jobs.
