A small school for the people doing the work.

Solutech was founded in early 2024 in Prishtinë by a small group of engineers and researchers who had each, separately, spent a year trying to teach the same set of lessons to people they cared about. We had been writing the same essays, recording the same calls, and recommending the same handful of papers, over and over, to friends who had been asked to ship something against an LLM and had quietly realized they did not know how.

The school exists for a specific kind of student. They are working engineers, technical product managers, senior individual contributors, occasionally engineering managers. They have shipped real software. They are paid out of pocket or reimbursed by their employer, and they treat the time they spend with us as a serious investment. We do everything we can to make that investment a good one.

What this means in practice is a few things. We cap cohorts tightly — sometimes at twenty, never above fifty. We pay our instructors meaningfully above market rate and hire them only from the population of people who do the work for a living. We refuse to bundle our courses into self-paced packages, even though the unit economics would be better, because we have measured the alumni outcomes both ways and the cohort wins by a margin that is not close.

The brand is deliberate. We chose a serif and a calm palette because the field we teach is loud and we wanted to be quiet. We chose to write essays instead of post threads because that is the format we respect. We chose Prishtinë because the founders live here and one of our most-requested cohorts is taught in this time zone.

We are a small business by intention. We will not be the largest technology school in the world; we will, we hope, be the one the alumni of our other choices wish they had taken instead.
