That said, I believe there's a lot more we can do to help ease the financial burden from students and I love the direction of trying to move the cost of education from students to employers. I'm working on that.

Have you actually tried it? I'd be pretty surprised if the employers attempted to cut you out like that. They're already accustomed to paying recruiters, and the access / promotion that you can provide them is worth the money. You could also sue them, whereas if you try to sue your students for repayment of their ISAs you run a high risk of bad PR.
Further, grads can (and should) apply to companies that aren't partnered with us. I don't want them to only apply to a limited set of partnered employers.
We've been operating for about a decade, so we've tried basically everything once :) Our current corporate partnership program is here if you're interested: https://launchschool.com/employers/placement
