Too many contingencies and founder obligations. Founder owes the company tuition and warrants?! For an educational program? If you need education, you may as well go to a reputable and established business school instead. Harvard University won't take a warrant out on your company. Sounds expensive.

I'd sign up to attend a New York based series in a heart beat but cant attend in person in SF due to other commitments.

I'm sure we have the volume of startups necessary to make this worth your while.
