Startup School Final Speaker List
- Specstacular 17y agoWeirdly I was just reading about an Australian version of this concept: http://www.startupschool.com.au/ http://www.startupschool.com.au/
- andrewtj 17y agoSame name but not the same concept.
- chrischen 17y agoHmmm... sounds shady... $998, only ten participants, and they imply that one of the reasons the fee is that high is because they spent it on advertising? One of the speakers founded rentoid.com - which seems pretty cool at first glance. The other apparently founded a startup that sells ideas for $423. Actually I'm sure they're legit, but it's a ripoff compared to the real Startup School. Even if I lived in Australia, I'd still pay for a ticket and fly to California.
- rama_vadakattu 17y agoUI looks like 37signals home page
- cellis 17y agoReads like a whos who of... fill in the blank.
- gbookman 17y agoIt's a great mix of rising stars and longtime veterans in a wide range of fields.
- falsestprophet 17y agoI wonder: do these people follow Hacker News?
- pmjordan 17y agoPaul Buchheit seems to visit regularly: http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=paul http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=paul You may also have noticed Paul Graham: http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=pg http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=pg I'm not aware of accounts of any of the others, though I'd be surprised if most of them hadn't heard of HN, especially the investors.
- falsestprophet 17y agoI'm not sure what I would make of the billionaire Mark Zuckerberg squandering his time by reading my useless comments.
- gbookman 17y agoI like how Paul Graham describes himself as a "bug fixer."
- Janteh 17y agoI know what I'll be doing this Saturday!
- pmjordan 17y agoFollowing the coverage on Justin.TV in my case. Hopefully by next year I'll be able to afford to fly out to CA and experience it live.
- davidw 17y agoThink it's worth it to see this kind of thing via a video link? I'm not convinced - most of the value I get out of going to conferences is in meeting other people. If anything good or interesting gets said, it's usually all over the internet quickly in any case, meaning that I don't really need to sit there watching N hours of video. Looks like a fun one though; YC and its offshoots are one of the few things that manage to make me miss the bay area a little bit.
- pmjordan 17y agoOh, absolutely. Better than nothing though, I guess. Flying out there isn't something I can do on a whim right now.
