Codecademy eyes the enterprise with $40 million in new capitalFebruary 23, 2021 at 9:00 AM After going over four years without raising any capital, coding class platform Codecademy has raised a new tranche of money: a $40 million Series D round led by Owl Ventures, with participation from Prosus and Union Square Ventures.
