Tunisian edtech startup GoMyCode has raised $850,000 in a pre-Series A round from Wamda (their first investment in the country), Tunis-based investment firm Meninx Holding, Anava Seed Fund (the fund behind Flat6Labs Tunis), and Jasminum Capital. Some angel investors including Dali Kilani, Béchir Tourki, and Houssem Aoudi also participated in the round.

The startup uses a blended model comprised of offline and online learning to offer training in web/app development, artificial intelligence, data science, user experience, video game development, and business intelligence.

According to its website, GoMyCode's programs are four to sixteen week-long and follow a learn-by-doing approach.
