So now, computer courses are being termed as "startups" and require VC investments and money? And YC is handing out money for this? Anything and everything is a VC funded startup these days.

I know, right?

In all seriousness though, VC funding is mainly a function of market size and scalability of the business model.

There's currently a huge shortage of data science talent across the world, and a sustainable business funded by venture capital can help fill this gap quickly.
