That's a nice excuse, but I don't buy it.
First of all, most people who went to Stanford don't found an Instagram.
Secondly, anyone can now apply to YC and make connections with great people.
- sakopov 14y agoI'm not selling you an excuse. I'm just saying this certainly played a big part of why he became successful. Stanford has a solid track record for successful start-ups. In my opinion, applying to YC and hoping to get in versus having staff members on university campus with connections to students who now operate prestigious tech companies and being able to walk the same path they have are 2 entirely different experiences.
