Prosper Tech Talents is a technology upskilling and reskilling company that develops training programs based on the specific needs of its corporate partners. Founded in 2019 by Luiz Eduardo Drouet and headquartered in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the firm operates as an educational technology platform with a focus on diversity and inclusion.
The company originated as the technology education division of Share People Hub, launching with the "Woman Can Code" program, which focused on training women for technology careers. Following a spin-off, Prosper Tech Talents became an independent entity, expanding its partnerships to over 75 companies for projects centered on recruitment, inclusion, and training. The company's business model, known as Education Recruiting or Eduployment, combines talent attraction with qualification, developing digital skills in candidates to match them with the cultural and technical requirements of a specific job. This approach serves clients by creating a pipeline of qualified tech professionals, with a specialization in providing opportunities for underrepresented groups, including low-income individuals, women, Black people, LGBTQIAPN+ individuals, people with disabilities, and those over 50.
Prosper Tech Talents offers solutions like "Prosper Sprints," a method for developing the digital skills of a company's existing team through technical assessments, personalized planning, agile learning, and continuous feedback. Revenue is generated through these corporate partnerships and training programs. The company is a venture-backed, social impact startup that aims to improve quality of life and corporate equity through education. In September 2023, the company secured $305K in an early-stage venture capital round from investors including 2.5 Ventures and Din4mo Ventures.
