It's further than uncomfortable, it's embarrassing.
I would feel embarrassed for both of us if a coworker reached out asking for me to put down $50 so they can get a job.
Not to mention I would never do it (as either party) because it feels very slimy.
This is one of the dumbest ideas I've ever seen on this site. Reminds me that even 'elites' like YCombinator (or at least as I've built them in my mind) are just humans who do stupid things sometimes too though, so that's cool.
