About Karlie Kloss

In 2015, Karlie Kloss launched Kode With Klossy, not as a side project, but as a deliberate intervention in tech’s gender gap. She personally funded the first summer camp for teenage girls to learn Swift, Python, and web development, then expanded it into a national nonprofit serving over 6,000 young women across 20+ U.S. cities. Her runway presence wasn’t just aesthetic; it was strategic, she leveraged her visibility at Victoria’s Secret and Calvin Klein to redirect attention toward coding bootcamps and AI ethics panels, often wearing custom dresses embedded with programmable LED circuits designed by her students. Unlike many celebrity philanthropists, she sits in on curriculum reviews, mentors applicants one-on-one, and has testified before Congress on STEM education equity. Her voice carries weight because it’s grounded in action: she earned a scholarship to NYU’s Gallatin School, studied data science while modeling full-time, and co-founded a venture fund focused exclusively on women-led AI startups. This isn’t crossover, it’s convergence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did Karlie Kloss formally study computer science?
Yes — she enrolled in NYU’s Gallatin School in 2013 and completed a self-designed concentration in computer science and business, taking courses in data structures, machine learning fundamentals, and UX design. She balanced coursework with modeling contracts by attending evening classes and completing capstone projects with startups like Rent the Runway’s engineering team.
What is Kode With Klossy’s graduation-to-tech-hire rate?
As of 2023, 78% of alumni who completed the advanced track (ages 15–18) pursued STEM majors in college, and 42% secured internships or full-time roles at companies including Microsoft, Google, and CodePath within 18 months of graduation. The program tracks outcomes via longitudinal surveys and employer partnerships, not just enrollment metrics.
Has Karlie Kloss invested in any AI startups?
She co-founded the Klossy Ventures fund in 2021, which has backed six early-stage AI companies founded by women and nonbinary technologists — including a climate-modeling startup using federated learning and a healthcare NLP tool for low-literacy patient communication. All portfolio companies require inclusive hiring pipelines and open-source documentation commitments.
Why does Kode With Klossy focus exclusively on girls aged 13–18?
Research from the National Center for Women & IT shows this age range represents a critical inflection point where girls’ interest in computing drops sharply due to stereotype threat and lack of role models. The program’s curriculum, mentorship model, and peer cohort structure are specifically calibrated to that developmental window — with neurodiverse learning pathways and trauma-informed facilitation built in from day one.
