History

One Month co-founders Castiglione and Griffel

One Month was founded on June 1, 2013 by Chris Castiglione and Mattan Griffel, who met while teaching at General Assembly in New York City.

Prior to forming One Month, Griffel launched the Skillshare course "Teach Yourself to Code: One Month Rails"[5] in December 2013. Castiglione was teaching a "Programming For Non-Programmers" workshop at General Assembly and Columbia University and he was also helping develop digital apps for The Black Eyed Peas, Toyota, and American Express.[6]

The two left their teaching positions when they were accepted to Y-Combinator. The company is currently 8 employees and headquartered in the East Village of New York City.
