I want to love this and it's super relevant for me as I just went into BI/analytics.
But with all the free online courses and material for data analytics/BI I feel like you could get the same experience without sacrificing 15% of your quality of life. I know this because I recently self-taught myself this skillset recently and have been providing a lot of value in this role. In fact you aren't targeting my geography so I wouldn't even qualify. And why would I want to start until September?
I would rather be self taught and proven through experience than risk a startup brand ("MissionU") whose reputation and longevity is so-far unknown. Do I want to be associated with a failed college Trump U or something like DeVry?
So my biggest question as your target market is this: what sets you apart from the breadth of training available for free online? Because it seems like I would be ahead of your students through self-training at my own pace (today, 'remote', online) making >$55k. There needs to be a clear advantage, and I'm not seeing it unfortunately.

@tombielecki Curious to see someone answer this. I'm in the same boat as you (in terms of areas served) and you articulated my concerns to the T. I want to love it... but...
