Y Combinator vs. 研究生院

Y Combinator* 是新的研究生院。

在某些方面,它更好:

  • 你去读研究生院要付钱。YC 付钱给你。
  • 毕业后,你得到一份工作。YC 之后,你创造工作。
  • 在学校里,你重复伟人的工作。YC 期望你做原创工作。
  • 在学校里,你被任意的人用任意的标准评分。YC 之后,你被真实世界评分。

有一天,大多数学科的大多数学校都会像这样。

* – 当然,“Y Combinator” 是 Techstars、I/O Ventures、SeedCamp、Capital Factory、Founders Institute 以及所有其他类似的天使前孵化器的通用术语。


Y Combinator vs. Graduate School

Y Combinator* is the new Graduate School.

In some ways, it’s better:

  • You pay to go to graduate school. YC pays you.
  • After school, you get a job. After YC, you create jobs.
  • You repeat the works of the greats in school. YC expects you to do original work.
  • In school, you are graded on an arbitrary scale by arbitrary people. After YC, you are graded by the real world.

Some day, most schools in most disciplines will be like this.

* – Of course, “Y Combinator” is a generic term for Techstars, I/O Ventures, SeedCamp, Capital Factory, Founders Institute, and all of the other similar pre-angel incubators.
