Our mission is to create economic transformation. By training low-income adults to launch and advance careers as software engineers, we help our Fellows go from earning $18,000 to over $90,000 starting salary on average, adding an estimated $2M in lifetime earnings.
Since 2013, Pursuit has created ~$1B in total lifetime wage gains, creating lasting economic mobility that spans generations.

Our Pursuit Bash Annual Gala celebrates our impact and our growing community of Fellows, partners, funders, and volunteers.
Join us on June 10th, 2024 at the Glasshouse NYC as we bring together the best in tech, business, impact, and philanthropy and honor leaders who embody our values.
