Hey Hacker News! I'm Mark Davis...the product hacker at Fullstack Academy, and the guy behind Fullstack Fund. We're really psyched to start investing in our graduates, so they can create their own startups and make a dent in the universe. AMA! "Smart people should build things"
This is not as good as it sounds. First these are inexperienced devs that will not have a chance to work with other developers and learn things. Secondly, this is then financed with their own money :)?! I think they do this so they place all this graduates somewhere and give them some work, instead of finding them promised well paid jobs.

Is this funding for new grads or for experienced grads?
Each startup has to have at least one Fullstack/Grace Hopper grad on their founding team.
We're also opening it up to alumni from Starter League in Chicago (which we acquired earlier this year) and our YC partner school, the Recurse Center.
aaaaand nobody cares

I have met some good bootcamp devs, and many bad ones, but I can say for sure that good ones do exist. That being said, I wouldn't give a fresh MIT grad a dime for a new startup. Some people will (I've met them) but it's just too risky. You need to learn from senior devs, I learned the most from grey beards.
