Y Combinator 对研究生院Y Combinator vs. Graduate School
Y Combinator* 就是新的研究生院。
在某些方面，它甚至更好：
– 上研究生院，你得付学费；YC 付钱给你。 – 毕业之后，你找一份工作；从 YC 出来之后，你创造工作机会。 – 在学校里，你反复研习大师的作品；YC 期望你做出原创的工作。 – 在学校里，你被一群随心所欲的人按一套随心所欲的标准打分；从 YC 出来之后，给你打分的是真实世界。
总有一天，大多数领域的大多数学校都会变成这样。
- —— 当然，"Y Combinator" 在这里是泛指，包括 Techstars、I/O Ventures、SeedCamp、Capital Factory、Founders Institute 以及其他所有类似的天使轮之前的孵化器。
Y Combinator* is the new Graduate School.
In some ways, it’s better:
– You pay to go to graduate school. YC pays you.
– After school, you get a job. After YC, you create jobs.
– You repeat the works of the greats in school. YC expects you to do original work.
– In school, you are graded on an arbitrary scale by arbitrary people. After YC, you are graded by the real world.
Some day, most schools in most disciplines will be like this.
* – Of course, “Y Combinator” is a generic term for Techstars, I/O Ventures, SeedCamp, Capital Factory, Founders Institute, and all of the other similar pre-angel incubators.
