Jumping in for Adora :) -- The content will revolve around similar topics, but we'll do deep-dives into content that we did not get a chance to last year (sales for B2C and B2B, building and managing technical teams, and design princip

You should expect a minimum 3-hour commitment a week: roughly 2 hours of lectures and 1 hour of group office hours. Lectures you can watch at your own leisure. As for location/geography, as long as you have a device with internet acces

We totally understand that founders may have other commitments that are more important than their nascent company. That's one of the main reasons we started Startup School, and kept it completely remote. The program itself only has two

It's all completely virtual. All "attendance" in the course is done online, including group office hours.

That was an error on our part; somehow our old event link was used. The correct link to apply is actually at https://investor.startupschool.org/register . Apologies for that!

All the videos and transcripts will be posted publicly after the course ends.

For many of the teams, english is a second or third language, and they came from areas where startups/tech are in it's infancy, so access to decent hardware is tough. With that said, we only spent a week working on videos and it&#

For the first version of Startup School, we stuck with pretty broad categories, just to keep it simple. However, we do plan to make these categories more granular in the future.

We're actually at a 56% graduation rate. Many companies opted to not make a video for various reasons, including wanting to remain in stealth or they felt they were too early.

Sorry about that. There were a few technical difficulties this week that delayed our lecture releases. Alan Kay's second lecture will be up again asap this coming week, with our new lecture as well.

Hey Laktek! I reached out to Philip and Emma because they were Startup School founders in the Bay Area. That made it a lot easier to have them come by.

Sorry about that. Initially we were going to have on-stage office hours every week, but we have since changed the format for the course. Those office hours in the most recent blog post are current; we'll update the site now. Apologies

We're slowly going through and accepting teams on a rolling basis. Finbarr is the sole engineer building the software, so we wanted to have a bit of buffer time in case we overlooked something in the program/product. Apologies for

That's a really interesting idea, and a possibility. It's definitely something I've thought about a lot. Quite a few communities have reached out about doing study groups, and I'm excited to hear their feedback.
