- rms 20y agoNo, but I suggested it's different. I personally don't see Lightspeed/Highland as much worse than YC, they just attract a very different sort of entrepreneur. If you're capable of succeeding with Y Combinator you would be able to succeed with Lightspeed too. I guess I could have made the metaphor the other way around, but something about the VCs made me think it worked better with them as the tech schools.
- aston 20y agoI was sorta kidding above, but to actually be real on the topic, MIT is home of the hackers, and Harvard's got the business-minded folks. I would've picked the other way around. But then the numbers mismatch (1 VC, 2 hacker schools). Also, just to clarify, the running joke (never really tested) at MIT is that Harvard kids would for the most part die here.
