Smart Contract Developer Bootcamp

A bootcamp that trains existing software engineers to become smart contract developers for Ethereum, capitalizing on the extreme shortage of developers who can write in Solidity. The business model focuses on quick training and job placement fees.

Key Points:

• Target Market:

  • Existing software engineers (JavaScript, backend developers)
  • Companies needing smart contract developers
  • Crypto-interested developers looking to transition

• Training Program:

  • 6-week curriculum
  • Focus on Solidity programming language
  • Smart contract development for Ethereum
  • Emphasis on writing secure, bug-proof contracts

• Business Model:

  • $20,000-25,000 placement fee per engineer
  • Small, lean operation (2-person company)
  • Potential for $4M/year revenue
  • Not meant to be venture-scale

• Market Opportunity:

  • Extreme shortage of smart contract developers
  • Growing demand as contracts move from lawyers to programmers
