Hi, I was involved in the decision to open Startup School to all applicants and am the developer primarily responsible for writing the software we’ll need to make this scale. We're all planning on working overtime for the next 12 weeks as we prepare for and go through the course. Although we don't have the resources to assign an advisor to every group, we do want to provide human attention to every single company we've accepted.
In general, we're committed to making Startup School an excellent experience for all 15,000 of the companies that applied. This is going to be a great deal of effort for all involved, but it's a point we wanted to get to anyway (even though the timing and communication that lead to this decision was a terrible mistake that we're still really sorry for).
- Gabriel_Martin 8y agoThanks for your time and commitment. I'm not even an applicant, but it is still quite an admirable thing.
- allanmacgregor 8y agoThank you, as someone that has been on the other end of snafus like this, I know owning up and opening the program to an additional 11K people is not easy.
- jackconnor 8y agoKCorbitt, thanks to you and the team, I was really impressed with how this was handled.
