'Learning/mentorship' programs that cost money ...

I've seen so many of these pop up. Some seem legit, and are offered by like small hedge funds and places, but they cost money like Ivyline Capital you could pay $750 for lifetime or $59 per month. Thoughts? Seems more just like a way to draw in non-target kids to 'networking opportunities'.
