Can you explain the "externship" more? Is that with outside companies? And how is that guaranteed in this market. Ada basically shut down because their partners couldn't guarantee internships anymore and they are a non profit backed by amazing companies.

For sure! We offer all of our students the ability to work with actual clients (we have hundreds of partners). We don't just guarantee it for our current students, but graduates have unlimited access to externship in case they want to take another ( most are employed by that poin

So my understanding is that externships are projects not inside the company code but just related to the company that get presented to someone from the company for comments and reviews.
1. Is that correct?
2. How do you solve the IP issues if someone presented an idea that actually got used by the company some day? Is there compensation in that case or a signed IP agreement?
2 might seem annoying but if these are truly amazing projects then it would be very likely to be an ongoing problem I assume you've solved.

That is incorrect. Our students are using real company data to solve real business problems. Why would there be compensation? Setting up a student to work with an organization to help them build a portfolio is more than any other bootcamp provides students. Not to mention, we don

I'm not sure about your role at Triple Ten but I've worked in Silicon Valley for a long time and I assure you this is a problem if your projects are what they say they are.
"Our students are using real company data to solve real business problems"
This is the definition of IP and not a single legit company would give someone access to their IP and receive IP from a student without a formal agreement (doesn't have to have compensation but you need a formal agremeent) Otherwise you won't pass legal due diligence review. There's no way Triple Ten could raise funding or sign big deals and pass legal review if what you say is the case and there is nothing signed.
I'm talking about legitimate Silicon Valley companies, perhaps the companies aren't in the USA or somewhere with different IP laws but you should flag this for your executive team if you aren't an executive yourself. If you are then DM me and I can connect you with some IP lawyers.
