For those who may not be familiar with Draper University—and I suspect that includes most of you—there are concerning reports circulating about this program.

This Reddit thread highlights the experiences of former participants, many of whom are questioning the value of what they paid for: https://www.reddit.com/r/ASU/comments/8clfow/does_anyone_know_anything_about_draper_university/

I strongly recommend everyone review these insights and think critically about the program's promises versus what it actually delivers.

Additionally, the institution is owned by Tim Draper, a billionaire venture capitalist with a controversial reputation that can easily fund this himself, without bringing unnecessary drama to the Polkadot ecosystem: https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2018/06/13/california-three-states-ballot-tim-draper-interview-usa-today/699185002/

You are asking for far too much money for an unproven service with a sketchy reputation, relatively lackluster following, and no solid plan for adoption post-funding.

This is a HARD NO from me.
