History

Livecoding.tv was founded by Jamie Green & Dr. Michael J. Garbade in 2014.[8] The idea behind Livecoding.tv was inspired by Michael playing games on Twitch.tv and developing software in a Linux virtualbox environment. They came up with a question "what if there was a livestreaming platform like Twitch.tv but solely for software engineers to share code, exchange experiences, socialize and take their coding to the next level".[2] The Livecoding.tv platform was created to allow coders of all backgrounds to learn from each other by watching and interacting with people writing code live, allowing users to overcome barriers and take their coding skill to a professional level.[9][10][11]

Livecoding.tv received its first round of funding from EU Accelerator EuropeanPioneers and in 2015 it joined startup accelerator Y Combinator. The company garnered media attention after its launch, including mention in TechCrunch,[2] CNN Money,[12] Mashable,[13] and others.

Livecoding.tv is monetized through donations, subscriptions, paid and private channels.[12]
