HackHands is an independent spin-off of 6PS Group, a Brazilian web development company, that launched in 2013 at the New York WeWork Labs space.[2] It was founded by two Brazilian technology entrepreneurs, Geraldo Ramos, José Wilker and Assis Antunes, with American Forest Good. On November 10, 2014, Ed Roman joined HackHands as CEO.[3] The company relocated its headquarters to San Francisco in 2014.[citation needed]
On July 9, 2015, Pluralsight, an online education company, announced it had acquired HackHands[4] in order to expand its capabilities beyond video tutorials and assessments by adding live assistance for technology learners.[5] In 2015, Hackhands moved its office to Pluralsight's headquarters in Farmington, Utah.[citation needed]
HackHands founded HackPledge, an initiative to encourage industry experts to mentor and teach novice developers. The company also launched the HackSummit, the largest virtual conference and programming conference at that time, which had more than 64,000 registrants.[6]
