A friend of my wife's in B-school once relayed the story about his time in the entrepreneur club there, and how it was just a bunch of people standing around talking about starting businesses. He found it much more educational to start a business, and learn as he went. So if you want to learn about startups, the fastest way is probably to start one. My opinion on the second fastest way is to work at one; that's what I did/am doing as employee #1.
