Right now it's technically structured as a sale to an SPV that is owned by Lambda, Lambda gets a small advance (<$5k/student) that we have to pay back before we get any additional cashflows.

It's still completely aligned, we just fast-forward some of the cash so we don't have to raise endless amounts of VC.

" Lastly, this arrangement will not affect the student experience during or after Lambda School."

As a student, I can confirm this is a lie. And you know it is because we have told you in Slack, we've told you on Twitter, we've told you on Reddit, and now you have to read about it on Hacker News.

It’s interesting that he never responds to current or former students publicly.
