   The reason I use Mou is for the LaTeX integration. Haven't found another editor that does that.

   Might be fair, but their argument about all their competitors doing this is completely valid. If Google's going to penalize RapGenius, they should penalize the other lyrics websites as well.

   Definitely reconsider the name. Intercourse would work great if it was an app targeted to the general public, but definitely not in the education/business market.

   That makes sense. I guess it isn't one field per say - the media was for computer security, but the rest is all about helping entrepreneurs.

   I'm currently a sophomore and I might satisfy these - any idea if these would work? 3. I've been covered on CNN, Quartz Magazine, Business Insider, Valleywag 4. This one seems a bit iffy - I control entrance into a pre-accelerat

   Georgia Tech went from never competing in national hackathons to #15. Props!

   Doesn't really do anything better than the (many) alternatives. What do you do better than your competitors? I'd argue it's worse - it's based off degrees, and only shows me three jobs at a time. Don't want to sound

   I've been looking for Georgia Tech grads/dropouts who have been to YC. Any chance you could send me a quick email at chintanparikh@gatech.edu? I run Startup Exchange at Georgia Tech

    Plus. For sure. Came here for college, and almost every tech (startup) interviewer I've talked to has mentioned some family in Australia. Good thing to build rapport over :)

    Cool concept, but it's seriously annoying. Either make the user always scroll, or always click.

    Possible motivation: Someone just finished their hack at the facebook hackathon (going on right now), and is DDOSing github to stop everyone else in their tracks :)

    I've got a bone to pick with that class. Every single student who takes it comes out hating programming, and I think that's utter bullshit. At the same time, they're incredibly proud of the boat they've coded in Matlab,

    Fresh college grads should always have a range of internships under their belt. Tech has one of the best co-op programs in the country. If you're graduating without interning or co-oping somewhere, you're doing it wrong

    Hey Harold, definitely will shoot you an email. I'm still in NYC for the next few weeks, but I'd love to grab coffee once I'm back.

    It sounds like you have a tonne of experience with what we want to be doing. Mind if I shoot you an email a bit later to pick your brain?

    Don't get me wrong, I definitely do know about the existing infrastructure set up for startups around Tech. I just don't feel like other undergrads do, and that's my problem. We work with them as closely as we can - we had Fr

    I'm a huge fan of what you guys do at VentureLab, I think it's nothing short of amazing. I'll admit, that first paragraph was a bit of an exaggeration - but I genuinely believe that the large majority of the undergrad popul

    Klaus is a bit of a personal hero. Not saying that no-one had heard of/started a startup, more that the culture at Tech isn't particularly conducive to it.

    Definitely didn't know this, and it's super interesting. Weird that they've died down so much.

    For sure. There's a great post by Stephen Fleming on the ATL startup scene, definitely addresses this - http://academicvc.com/2013/07/05/startups-for-grownups/ .

    Looking forward to it, it'd be great to bounce ideas off each other.
