Continuing its momentum in 2019, the company introduced a revamped website and moved into new headquarters in Scotts Valley, California. Crowd Machine's growth demonstrates the appeal of the no code phenomenon. With its comprehensive platform-as-a-service, Crowd Machine helps F1000 enterprises stay competitive in today's digital age, by modernizing their outdated legacy systems and removing the dependency on scarce and expensive DevOps teams. Crowd Machine also empowers all business people to bring apps to market faster, easier and less expensively than any other on the market, by completely eliminating the code and hosting complexities associated with traditional software development models. "We want to give everyone the tools to make positive change in their business," said Craig Sproule, founder and CEO of Crowd Machine. "Businesses must innovate to stay competitive. Let's expand the group of people able to do so." To make app-building accessible to all, Crowd Machine created Crowd Academy ( https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2387077-1&h=4108260281&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.crowdmachine.com%2Fcrowd-academy%2F&a=Crowd+Academy ), a free seven-level, on-line training course that teaches customers how to create market-ready apps quickly, that can also interface with blockchain, IoT, AI and robotics. To date, Crowd Academy has more than 600 Cadets (participants) from over 70 countries. It plans to grow with even more Cadets, now that the program is launching from beta. "Crowd Academy Cadets are proactive go-getters who want to advance their business or startup, or even just their own skills. They are people who have unique ideas and are taking matters into their own hands to see them actualized," said Meg Jones, VP Community Crowd Machine. "The community is growing fast. We've had 48 new Cadets join in February 2019 alone."
