I worked as an intern at one of the companies based out of Matt's old high school four years ago. I also had the chance to use their space for two weeks a year ago and the space/environment is fantastic. It's amazing to see how far they've come from their first summer four years ago. I can't speak for GCT, but I don't believe it's profit-driven. In its first form, the accelerator was an extension of Matt and Charlie's (the other Co-Founder of GCT) high school which is an all-scholarship school for Catholic boys in New York. In short the students pay nothing; the school subsists off of alumni donations. The school's mission was to give a great education to students who otherwise wouldn't be able to access it for financial reasons. Matt and Charlie tried to preserve that benevolent attitude when founding GCT: an accelerator purely dedicated to the success of the companies in its classes.
