Very true, especially if the donations are mostly coming from friends and family. Codefund will require users to demonstrate need, in order for us to fulfill our mission of providing aid to those individuals who truly need it. If we're going to bolster and diversify the tech industry, then we need to address the problem of bootcamp tuition funding, which currently, is very expensive for the average individual with no programming experience looking to make a dramatic career change.
