SkillMagic was founded by Jason Lew, a repeat entrepreneur who has helped grow teams at Apple (iPhone engineer), MightySignal (Co-Founder & CTO/COO, acquired by Instacart), and Instacart (Director of Engineering, Growth Acquisition). The most rewarding part of his career has always been helping others reach their full potential through training and learning, which is why he started SkillMagic.

The team at SkillMagic has invested significant resources into developing an artificial intelligence powered platform that will find and deliver the Internet’s best technical content directly to your engineers and keep them engaged.
