This is exactly the lines I'm thinking of. I've been lucky enough to gain the sort of experience that puts me on the same playing field (at least in the view of employers) as my a grad.
For me in some small way I want to be working for a company that is even in an almost insignificant way mine... Not dissimilar to the attitude that I guess crowdfunders have.
Also thanks for the link. I hadn't thought of it like that.
From my perspective, £18k (and indeed £28k) is a lot of money. I'm 19 and I'm getting paid to code, I know it's naive but I think it's awesome. I love the people I work for/with and I love my job. I come across adults who haven't had that their entire career.
Edit: Just to follow up on the counter offer. The process of raising this round of funding has been such a whirlwind. I don't think there is anything untoward going on. I think a case of Hanlon's Razor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor
