If one person ran this and they were the equivalent of a top 1% engineer, they would be giving up a $1M a year compensation.
$1M a year = $83K a month = 332 people a month paying $250.
Assuming you work really hard, 12 hours a day for 7 days a week = 84 hours \* 4.5 = 378 hours in a month.
So even if you spent every working hour mentoring people 1-1 and offering career coaching, each person would get 1 hour of your time per month for $250 a month.

This is the ultimately limiting factor with any kind of high-touch program.
So far the only options have been to scale super large with minimal hands on interaction, or you have like a $20K program for 16 people in a 12 week cohort that is very high touch.

My company is the first company to change this by leveraging the work of top 1% ex-Meta performers who are so passionate about building this that they will trade $1 to $5M annual compensation (at least for a little while) to help it come to life.
And we are barely scratching the surface yet.
