Good point.

To me it seems he, Luigi, is someone who maybe likes the idea behind venture capital, or perhaps more generally, the economic system it represents; likes the outcome he sees (perhaps only selects the best parts?) and would like to shoehorn the idea to higher education where investors "invest" in student potential. It seems a stretch.

How much "equity" would investors expect? 10-20% of future income? Is that comparable to a regular student loan? Why would students choose this route instead of the traditional route?
