an mit grad and former student body president, pius quit his consulting business last year to work withounder and girlfriend becky developing becouply. a social network for couples. >> for us, this isn't a summer project. this isn't -- it's not a hobby. >> living off their savings, the couple bought one-way tickets to the west coast. becky will live close to the newme house during the nine-week program. >> definitely for us the stakes are very high. >> the housemates know the road to demo day won't be easy. >> you're going to take something personal, if someone says i didn't think that was very good at all and is blunt and straightforward and that hurts your feelings, go home now. go home now. >> there are lots of people who, you know, they hear about a program like this and they assume that it's more or less a handout. you know? and that we aren't serious entrepreneurs. and all they're doing is charity for minorities. it's a capitalist endeavor. you know, we're all serious adults, entrepreneurs, who, you know, we're building great companies, every single one of us. so we want to stand
