Austen is the co-founder and CEO of Lambda School. Austen was born with an entrepreneurial spirit and has been starting businesses since his teenage years. His latest company, Lambda, an online coding 'boot camp', is out to change the way we learn coding, or at least change the financial model of it. Paying nothing upfront to enroll, and then paying a % of your monthly salary, ONLY after you find a job in your field - is substantially better than the current college model that leaves you in hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. This seems to be a no-brainer, for anyone interested in the field.

And much more...
My Take: Whenever you try to set new trends - you are going to find naysayers. Austen is not immune to this, even though Lambda's online coding boot camp is a game-changer for many. Some in the media have cherry-picked information, to misrepresent the full picture of Lambda.
I love risk-takers and game-changers; Austen, and Lambda, are definitely a fine representation of both.
