General Assembly, an education firm which offers programming, design, and entrepreneurship courses, just raised $35 million.
General Assembly’s fresh round will help the company launch new campuses, and strengthen its enterprise offering. The company originally offered both coworking and education services, but shuttered the former in October 2013.
Cofounder Jake Schwartz says “what we really focus on is being a full-service provider,” a report from the New York Times states. General Assembly plans to invest in services for corporate giants like General Electric, American Express and Pepsico.
General Assembly was founded in 2011 with a $200,000 grant from NYC’s Economic Development Corporation. The firm has raised a total of $49.25 million in funding to date.
