sama mentioned "financial aid" below, which sandslash clarified as "The grant will afford founders in more disadvantaged positions an opportunity to focus on their startup.", so it sounds like there will be something along those lines (although whether during or after the course, it's not entirely clear yet).
- mceoin 10y agoI wasn't thinking so much in the line of financial aid as funding global entrepreneurship. One of the impressive things I've noted about 500 Startups is their international outlook, where the goal isn't to find startups and bring them to Silicon Valley, but instead to fund them in situ while still providing a bridge to capital and expertise. TBD how this plays out, but it'll be interesting to watch.
