Three words: networking, networking, networking.
You are going to get in the trenches with the next generation of self-selected future business leaders. These are the people that will form of the nucleus of your professional network for the next 30 years.
- ikono 14y agoJust thinking out loud here but is it possible that places like Y Combinator will end up fulfilling this role in the future?
- lhnz 14y agoThey're too small to fulfil that role.
- lhnz 14y agoThey're too small and there's not enough of them to fulfil that role. Additionally there aren't very many non-tech areas with yc-type programs for them.
- ikono 14y agoThat doesn't mean it has to be that way, does it? I wasn't implying that the yc model is a replacement today, just that it perhaps could be in the future for at least some subset of people that are currently going to business school.
- theorique 14y agoYes and no, IMO. YC is like a new elite graduate school / bootcamp for startup entrepreneurs. Just like not everyone gets into HBS or Saïd or INSEAD, not everyone gets into YC. B-school is getting more startup and entrepreneurship oriented, but is still aimed, for the most part, at general management at mid-sized and large mainstream firms.
