Startup School: Every Company That Applied Is Now Accepted
Unpopular opinion here.The value of startupschool (as a previous graduate) is the individual attention we got from a hand selected instructor.I know yc screwed up with the emails, and their response was to please those that they have misled, accidentally of course. But I think they also devalued the class. It's gonna be much harder to offer the quality attention of the past.I think the right thing they should have done, which is harder, was for yc to apologize for their mistake and move on. I know it sucked for those who were selected then deselected, but if you are a startup owner you need to be prepared to be rejected, cause someone will reject you.I don't know what criteria startupschool goes through to select a company, but I think they must have seen something unique in those four thousands.I do congratulate them for this decision still because obviously the influx of students is gonna be a great challenge to surmount.
