How Universities Should Prepare Founders
Summary
The piece argues universities should teach building skills and foster a startup culture rather than traditional entrepreneurship courses, citing YC's founder-focused criteria. It emphasizes that startups are learned by doing, not by business plans, and that giving students time to work on projects leads to better outcomes and future cofounders. The author also notes that visibility of founders on campus can inspire students, and that an unstructured, project-driven approach can be cost-free for the university if done right.
