Re: Harvard - what about the Harvard Extension School, specific overseas programs such as the Harvard Beijing Academy which are open to anyone(http://www.summer.harvard.edu/programs/study-abroad http://www.summer.harvard.edu/programs/study-abroad), and now online courses (http://www.extension.harvard.edu/distance-education http://www.extension.harvard.edu/distance-education) and finally EdX? That's like a textbook case of extending their brand to get more of the market.
- argumentum 13y agoMy argument was against "franchising" in the sense that the franchises would be top-level equivalents of YC, a demand on the time of YC partners and a dilution of the network. I think YC does extend its' brand in a different way: by funding companies that create new avenues for startup funding/networking such as FundersClub.
