    If I had a nickel for every time someone said Lambda School was crazy to not make people pay an upfront deposit for participating I’d be able to fund the deposits myself

        Have you thought about doing the opposite - paying people a bonus, or a monthly stipend for enrolling? Might broaden the # of possible customers.

        @AustenAllred - how do you keep costs low enough up front to justify? Assuming thorough onboarding is key here as well as tiering out dedicated mentorship to students based on their progress.

        We focus on making a lot on the other side. There is a lot of non-optimal cost along the way, but we don't know (or necessarily care) what that is.

        Got it. Enjoy your posts. Excited about your model for things beyond software dev / data science as well. Easy to see how at scale this can replace current vocational training in many verticals. 💪
