I am always in favor of programs which make education more accessible and straightforward. I've never used your platform, but it seems like it's a move in that direction.

I know that YC has also funded Lambda School, which offers a data science course, but their payment model is based primarily on ISAs. Did you consider ISA payment plans, and if so, why did you go with the flat fee? If not, do you think you would want to move to an ISA payment system as you scale?

Congratulations on the launch and best of luck!

Thanks for your support! We also offer several free courses, so do check them out if you're curious: https://www.jovian.ai

Our program is designed primarily for working professionals with some background in programming, analytics or statistics. We've found that most of them are comfortable with paying program fees upfront or monthly.

However, we do also offer an ISA option in cases where students are unable to pay upfront.
