Have you run across any prior business that trade education for a percentage of future income?

Ask since I've looked at this model before and while I'm not able to find it, I recall court cases that ruled against this type of finical agreement.



Make School (also YC, W12), has offered income based repayment since 2014 for our college program www.makeschool.com/product-college. There are now 3 cohorts of students who have gotten jobs and paid us under this model and a 4th is entering this fall.


Holberton School is also using this model since we announced in 2015.

We are working with VEMO http://vemo.com/ISAinitiative/ they are specialized in ISA - most schools are using them.


Yeah, even Purdue University uses income share agreements, it's not widespread but it's not rare either.




Consider applying for YC's Fall 2026 batch! Applications are open till July 27.
