Sorry - Friend - but I think the industry has passed you by.

It's a bad time to launch a for profit code school, partly because online resources - like EdX - have become so good.

That's me trying to be helpful.

I think, friend, you'll find that there is ample opportunity for code schools that aren't based in the US.

London (where this school is based) is extremely receptive to code school graduates and resources like EdX don't even scratch the surface from the perspective of an employer.

That's great!

I said nothing about the US? No worries!

I recently read this article: http://hackeducation.com/2017/07/22/bootcamp-bust

I know quite a few people that went through boot camps personally. Some did great and some really struggled.

It sounds like you have it sorted, so I hope it's successful and I wish you the best!
