Pathrise

Pathrise is an online mentorship program for tech professionals that provides training, and advice to help in landing the next job.The reference to Silicon Valleys famous startup accelerator is something of venture investor catnip, hitting on both Y Combinators rocketship success and investors deep fear of missing out on the next hot startup. If that wasnt enough, this startup is also using the income-share agreement revenue model which was popularized by another VC-favorite, Lambda School. The agreement is that users dont pay upfront and instead earmark 9 of their annual salaries to go back to Pathrise after they are employed.
