I was accepted to the Hinman CEOs program at UMCP (http://hinmanceos.umd.edu/ http://hinmanceos.umd.edu/).
My impression so far is that this program, and others like it, are a good first step for aspiring entrepreneurs. They concentrate like-minded and motivated students -- a great way to find a co-founder. (Which is essentially what I'm hoping to get out of the experience)
- socalsamba 19y agoI think finding a team is still the primary reason to join one of these programs. Around here (FL), the startup culture is still not such that our entrepreneurship program really gives deep insight into starting a web-based business. There is a lot of cross-over between the web and more traditional markets, but a lot of the details still need to be culled from experience. As you said, the really nice thing is that you find a lot of like-minded, entrepreneurial people -- which is often one of the harder parts.
