I want to create a massive internship program. Something like $15-20/hr for 3 months, you get a Lambda School grad to intern for you. If you like them you can bring them on FT at a full salary. Would you be interested in something like that?

I know. But they’re implicitly being marketed to a community that are mostly aware of you and your project as such. And they all benefit from the effects of that specificity and visibility.

Of the 50 or so students who have been hired so far I think one? works in the bay area, so I'm not sure that's true
-
I’m a big fan of your project. This isn’t a criticism. But you must understand my general point. You came out of YC, very visible, and very networked, in precisely the field where you’re placing. I’m not saying LS is doomed, but you have to admit you have a rolling start.
-
For sure, but the vast majority of our employers never heard of us until a student applied, so I'm not sure how relevant it is
-
Huge, if true. I have been *assuming* that at least a moderate percentage of your placements came from network effects.
