Fullstack is an immersive software engineering school or "coding bootcamp" in lower Manhattan and Chicago. Seeing that coding is a skill with increasing career applications, David Yang and Nimit Maru founded Fullstack in 2012 through a collaboration at Y Combinator.

David and Nimit met on the first day of freshman orientation at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After graduating in 2004 with degrees in computer science and electrical engineering, they have joined forces on at least five startups and worked together at Yahoo.
