What makes you think business school is strictly for people who want to be entrepreneurs?
Now, I agree that all these new "Entrepreneurship Master's" are a bunch of BS, but business school per se might have its merits.
- joeblau 9y agoI don't think business school is for people that want to be entrepreneurs. I have a lot of friends who think that business school is for people who want to become entrepreneurs. Business school is for people that want to learn how to run and optimize other peoples businesses. I'm currently enrolled in Harvard's Executive MBA program and it's a great program, but it's focused on how to optimize a company that's already moving. I've also attend a few YC Startup Schools and those are optimized for someone who wants to create something from scratch. There are a lot of overlapping concepts, but Startup School and Business School clearly have different goals. After thinking about it, you're right — Business school probably should't be renamed, but more explicit: Run Someone Else's Business School. And YC is more like: Run Your Own Startup School.
