that depends. to pay students I would need to source funding too. that is doable but does add another level of barrier to get things going. I'll probably start with finding unpaid to get a few batch going, gain momentum, then if all is well, we can start looking for funding.
After you have a few batches, you could self-fund the initiative by offering the same services to for-profit companies and use the profits from those projects to cover the non-profit projects. Almost like a Tom's style model, "for every hour you buy we are able to provide X hours to a paid intern. By choosing us for your next project you are supporting education and non-profit organizations across the country."
