Shai Reshef is the person who started.

It's non-profit. Not sure who "owns" it. It started in 2009.

Edit: Addendum. I'm not sure they need marketing. When I started last year (Sep 2019), they had ~20k students. They've added another 10k over the course of the academic year. I believe they were at 5k students in 2016.

I'm actually concerned about the sustainability with this growth, but we'll see how this ride goes.

Is posting here a marketing move? you seem to have skipped that question.

See my addendum. Didn't mean to miss it. Just answering several people at once.

Aside from being a student, I have no other affiliation with the school.
