To some extent, isn't InternMatch structurally incapable of providing the same amount of validation as a college program?
A college program has few qualms rejecting someone. After conducting an interview, and reviewing writing samples and a resume, a college program will form a subjective opinion of the applicant. If the applicant garners a negative opinion s/he will be rejected, and the college program has no problem doing this.
On the other hand, InternMatch could have real trouble telling someone, "no we won't vouch for you"--it would be like telling a customer to leave the store.
Also, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to attack you or your biz model at all--just offering my POV. Best of luck and congrats on the funding.
