Coding bootcamp, or any teaching for that matter, turns out is a really bad business idea

yeah, I agree with you completely. My goal in this endeavor not to make money, but to create positive impact. i'm just trying to figure out how to not go broke doing it.

If you are quite senior, become a mentor on an online platform. Formation, Interview Kickstart, Pathrise, Interviewingio, Hello Interview. You have absolutely zero risk, and you can do as much mentorship as you want with whoever you want and get paid a reasonable amount to live off of if you spend all your time doing it. If you aren't super experienced and want to start a bootcamp, I don't have other options. You might be the most gifted teacher in the world but it will be hard for you to help junior people navigate the industry without experience too.
