Hey Lukas (and Benas and Tomas) congratulations on the launch! Always cool to see stuff happening in this space - from your comment it seems self paced but the website shows a cohort starting soon. How does that work exactly? For pricing, it looks like it's 9,000 euro total (with an ISA) or 5k upfront, is that right and are ISAs available globally or just in Europe)? How are you coming in so much cheaper than lambda school? Will you ever sell the ISAs?

Hey, ISAs are only possible for EU citizens for now. We're cheaper than Lambda school because we have optimized-focused learning platform & education processes. With that we can have 70% less staff to deliver the same and even higher education quality. We don't have plans to sell ISAs.

Got it, very cool! For any students that want to freelance after they graduate, feel free to have them ping me, [email protected] (or apply directly on the site). We mainly use more experienced folks but I'm sure there are some projects where an enthusiastic new data scientist would be useful
Edit: I'm also really glad you're not selling ISAs. To me the direct connection/ownership of the debt is what really aligns the parties, not the ISA itself. Once it's sold off to a third party debt collection agency of course there is still some alignment but I think the connection gets fuzzier.
