2012 Startup School, Oct 20 at Stanford
- dangoldin 14y agoTo everyone who's on the fence you should definitely go. I flew to two of them from New York and it was well worth it. The talks are available online but by being there you get to feel the startup energy and meet a ton of motivated, driven people.
- pg 14y agoI'm happy to say that this year we're moving to a bigger venue. Instead of Dinkelspiel we're going to be in Memorial Auditorium, which is more than 2x bigger. Many thanks to the Stanford administration for that.
- hobbyist 14y ago@pg will the event be recorded/archived and viewable later?
- ckrailo 14y ago+1 I was disappointed to see "past years" was just a list of speakers in no discernable order, with no idea what they talked about (or when), no recordings, no slide decks, etc.
- wsetchell 14y ago+1, live streaming with hangouts on air would be amazing! http://www.google.com/+/learnmore/hangouts/onair.html http://www.google.com/+/learnmore/hangouts/onair.html
- godbolev 14y agoThat would be amazing! I got an invite for Work at a Startup at the start of the year, but couldn't go because I live in Australia. To avoid the plane ticket I looked at other ways of getting there, like via cargo plane or cargo ship. It turns out the first one is illegal an the second one is more expensive and takes longer :D
- pg 14y agoYes. BTW, you don't need @s here.
- nullspace 14y agoThat's good to know! I won't be making it there, but I would very much like to spend some time watching the talks. Are the talks from previous years available? I could not find any links on the website.

- simonw 14y agoWe've got links to a bunch of talks from previous years archived on Lanyrd. Take a look at our series page for Startup School: http://lanyrd.com/series/startup-school/ http://lanyrd.com/series/startup-school/
- mace 14y ago@pg: How many hackers attend each year? I forget to count ;)
- pg 14y agoDinkelspiel holds 715 but Mem Aud holds 1715.
- rms 14y agoCheers! Great venue and the best startup conference in town. Startup School is by far the best startup conference in the Bay Area, and I say that as a 20-something startup founder that mostly still finds increased social connection with 20-something startup founders more compared to wizened 30-something serial entrepreneurs, media people, employees, and successful failures. It's a good thing Startup School is going to get a lot bigger this year because it's unfortunate that so many people always were rejected. It's actually very difficult to find a venue of this size in the Bay Area, though particularly in San Francisco. I say this as both an ex ticket scalper and an event promoter for a large Bay Area event that is coming up. By the way, please come to my event (the Singularity Summit!) www.singularitysummit.com Use coupon code HACKERNEWS for a discount on tickets.

- jbp 14y ago>> When: 20 October 2011, 9:00 am. >> Application Deadline: 20 September 2011. 2011?
- staunch 14y agoAlways look forward to watching these talks. Thanks for doing them every year. Really glad that Andrew Mason is doing another one.
- dmix 14y agoIf you've already been (in say 2010), is there a possibility of going twice?
- grandalf 14y agoI had the good fortune of attending last year and it was phenomenal. The presentations were entertaining but the conversations with other attendees were priceless.

- jzone3 14y agoI'm currently a sophomore in high school. Am I old enough to apply, and is it worth it for me (I live near NYC)?
- HorizonXP 14y agopg: "Thanks for applying. We'll respond by email about a week after the application deadline. Please make a note of your username and password. You'll need them later to confirm you're coming." Er... what username and password?
- kloncks 14y agoI would assume it's your HN information.
- HorizonXP 14y agoI would think so too, except I didn't enter it anywhere, so I'm not sure how the association is made. Oh well, no sense worrying about such mundane details.
- untog 14y agoThe actual application form is on news.ycombinator.com, so it's got your cookies. Crafty, pg. Crafty. :)
- mhartl 14y agoTo apply, you need to sign in using your HN username and password. If you were already signed in, you probably just didn't notice that the form already knew who you were.

- noirman 14y agopg: when will the applicants know if he/she got accepted?
- antonID 14y ago"The application deadline is noon PT on September 20, and we'll issue acceptances on September 30. "
- canistr 14y agoDo subsequent applications overwrite the old one? I want to apply now so I don't forget but I feel I could write a better application given more time.
- pg 14y agoYes.
- b3b0p 14y agoI went in 2010, but did not apply in 2011. I don't feel I will be going this year either. I just have been too busy and dedicated with my day job to work on side projects/startup projects to feel like I would be worthy of going this year. I'm jealous still of anyone who gets in and goes :) At least I can watch the videos online after they are posted.
- nyg_hakeem 14y agois there a link to previous years' video?
- kroger 14y agohttp://www.justin.tv/startupschool/videos http://www.justin.tv/startupschool/videos
- aditya 14y agoSince it sort of worked well last time (http://areyougoing2009.heroku.com/ http://areyougoing2009.heroku.com/), I updated the are you going app for this year! http://areyougoing.herokuapp.com/ http://areyougoing.herokuapp.com/
- dkokelley 14y agoExcited to hopefully make it! I've only been able to watch the streams previously.
- nyg_hakeem 14y agoIs there anybody know where to find events like this startup school(except by reading post of HN)?
