I'm making some assumptions here that the ISA context is free coding camp like education for a cut of the participant's future income:

What I always wondered was regarding these agreements:

"People aren't used to making these kinds of deals. Do they understand them? Do they want them? Who is going to take them?"

I assumed the attractiveness to the individuals was NOT taking out a loan and folks taking more of a 'long shot' and if it didn't work, things weren't going to work out for everyone.

Also, I took a bootcamp that even with folks paying for the camp / taking personal risk, half those folks had no place there. After one month half the class should have been dis-invited "this isn't your thing". Finding good candidates is hard / IMO unpredictable.
