Israeli tech startup Wilco closes experience gap for aspiring software engineers
Israeli startup Wilco has launched a simulation platform for software engineers to gain and master new skills. The platform, which received $7 million in seed funding, allows engineers to complete various quests that simulate real-world troubleshooting problems. The idea for Wilco came from CEO On Freunds desire to expose software engineers to real-world problems outside of coding that are not typically taught in university. The platform is accessible to any software engineer, regardless of their background or location.
