Best thing I've ever read on HN. Bravo.
The problem I see with startups is that they have become the "cool kid table" and only hire "their kind". I can't believe that I'm seeing job listings with the phrase "top tier / ivy school only please". If startups keep pulling from the same diluted pool of talent they aren't going to get new ideas or any type of domain expertise.
Ths isn't about rewarding your 5 best friends from MIT anymore. Building a business and changing the world is about hiring the best people with the broadest backgrounds who want to accomplish a common goal. Your education should be a bonus not a prerequisite.
Find people who want to change the world and you just might do it.
