Raccoon Gang (companу)

Raccoon Gang is an educational technology company specializing in learning management systems (LMS), instructional design, and online learning infrastructure.

History

Raccoon Gang was founded in 2015 by Oleksiy Radchenko, Serhii Movchan, and Petro Kobliakov. The company has participated in the Open edX ecosystem.

In 2022, Raccoon Gang participated in UNESCO’s Global Education Coalition response to support the continuity of Ukrainian education following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The company was among the organizations that joined UNESCO, technology companies, educational institutions and international organizations in providing support for online learning initiatives.

Raccoon Gang has been listed among official Open edX service providers and partners. The company has reported collaborations with universities, governmental institutions, and international organizations, including Harvard University, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), NASA, and UNESCO.

Business

The company's Kharkiv office was significantly damaged early in the Russian invasion of Ukraine; co-founder Serhii Movchan reported that the team had relocated safely, and the Open edX community publicly organized support for staff and their families. Ukrainian-market projects were paused, but the company's international, edX-related work continued.
