Hi there! I don’t have large scale data on this, but I do have the sense from speaking to our participants that many of them experienced a lack of culture fit with some other startup communities, which they experienced as very money driven, status obsessed or uncollaborative in a variety of ways, so I definitely think that having the pledge as a selection mechanism to find people who genuinely care about impact was an attraction to some of our participants.
