Who we are

The idea of Devhub came about through Lighthouse Labs, where we live and breathe code, education and community while being surrounded by a community of over 500 software developers. Canada’s first full-out education space for developers of all levels, Devhub is a place where members can learn, code, and teach, connecting developers with community, mentorship, and a unique co-working environment. Due to the success of our Toronto location, Lighthouse Labs opened a second space for developers in downtown Vancouver. The new Devhub location is being launched to further strengthen and support the growing developer community in British Columbia.
