I disagree. I thought it was one of the best events for networking with other hackers that I have ever been to. Everyone there was knowledgeable as well as driven and energetic. I was up until the wee hours of the morning on both nights talking shop with other entrepreneurs and programmers. I actually met my company's co-founder during the first startup school.

I think Startup School is a great opportunity to meet other hackers and, hopefully, form meaningful relationships with like-minded peers. I'm from Los Angeles where the startup community is generally lacking -- the idea of "entrepreneurship" is somewhere along the lines of things like starting an event planning company or making indie films. As a result, I'm really looking forward to Startup School as a chance to meet potential co-founders.

    I actually just moved up to Palo Alto in January, but thanks for the post.

That's great! I wish I got in on some of that, but for whatever reason I didn't. I agree the caliber of people was great, which is why it was frustrating not to be able to meet more of them.
