Two Stanford students launch $2M startup accelerator for students nationwide | TechCrunch
"Breakthrough’s purpose is to fill in the funding and opportunity gap that exists in many of these ecosystems because students have historically lacked access to capital and the networks required to launch their entrepreneurial pursuits," co-founder Roman Scott said.

Startups are just Groundhog Day with a website and more costs.

In the movie, Bill Murray has to relive the same day until he finally gets it right. If that isn't the "Build-Measure-Learn" feedback loop, I don’t know what is.

I don’t care what you say, this is satire
Screenshot from the site linked above WHY WE MARCH Vilifying billionaires is popular. Losing them is expensive. Most made their fortunes building companies that employ thousands and solve real problems. Their wealth is largely stock in those companies, not vaults of cash. California benefits enormously when entrepreneurs choose to build here. Were currently watching them leave. The Billionaire Tax Act has already pushed the founders of Google to leave the state, taking their economic contributions with them. Continued… By taxing unrealized gains and voting shares, the act would make it difficult for founders to retain control of their startups. VALUE CREATORS Building, not taking These billionaires didn't steal from you. They created new products, new services, new possibilities that millions of people freely chose. Jeff Bezos Built a store where you can get nearly anything delivered to your doorstep, tomorrow Continued part 3 Brian Chesky Created Aironb, connecting travelers to homeowners with spare rooms. Taylor Swift Sold 100 million albums and filled stadiums around the world. Larry Page & Sergey Brin Made the world's information accessible to everyone, for free. Dustin Moskovitz Co-founded Facebook, then dedicated billions to saving lives through effective philanthropy. The last section, I skipped the last few examples of billionaires they gave because who gives a shit about those guys, ya know? OUR POSITION Judge individuals, not classes Of course, not all billionaires are good people. Some extract rather than create wealth. Some use their resources to cause serious political harm. These criticisms have merit, but they apply to individuals, not billionaires as a whole. We believe most have made tremendous contributions to society, directly through their entrepreneurship and secondarily through taxes and philanthropy. That deserves our respect and admiration.

Capital isn’t the asset. Alignment is.
Founders obsess over valuation.

When you raise, are you taking capital or choosing a partner?

When you think about raising capital, what matters more right now—terms or trust?

interesting from @emollick.bsky.social. what if you reduce the cost of starting a company by 90%? the differential returns to being a cog in a giant machine decline. we could see a lot of smaller firms. in practice this means automating away middle management

I’ve been teaching entrepreneurship for a decade and a half, and I've seen thousands of startup ideas (some of which turned into large companies) so I have a good sense of the expectations for what a class of smart MBA students can accomplish. I would estimate that what I saw in a couple of days was an order of magnitude further along the path to a real startup than I had seen out of students working over a full semester before AI. Most of the prototypes were not just sample screens but actually had a core feature working. Ideas were far more diverse and interesting than usual. Market and customer analyses were insightful. It was really impressive. These were not yet working startups nor were they fully operational products (with a couple exceptions) — but they had shaved months and huge amounts of money and effort from the traditional process. And there was something else: most early startups need to pivot, changing direction as they learn more about what the market wants and what is technically possible. By lowering the costs of pivoting, it was much easier to explore the possibilities without being locked in or even explore multiple startups at once: you just tell the AI what you want.
