I received an email today telling me that I've been accepted to Startup School. This is a free one-day event hosted by Paul Graham's YCombinator and the Harvard Computer Society. The school is geared toward youngish hackers that are interested in possibly starting a company one day. The list of invited speakers is impressive. I met Paul at this year's Foo Camp. He is a nice guy and may be the first venture capitalist hacker. Startup School and the Founders Program are good examples of bringing a hacker mentality to the venture world.
