I like In fact there are only two things universities need to change to be perfect at preparing founders: they need to make students feel that starting a startup is something they can do, and they need to encourage them to work on their own projects. I work at a major research university now but spent a lot of time working for various startups. I felt PhD training was great for being involved in startups, I mean, either way it is about making it routine to do things people have never done before. It hurts so much to see the "Ask HN" questions from people who want to do something new but have no idea how to get started... but PhD-track people think they want to work at established companies with prestige like Google.
