Huh. For startup school applications that's actually a surprising result. I was under the impression that the admissions process on that was basically just to weed out the hackers from the business people, and with an application that brief I'm surprised that can't be accomplished with a keyword search.


You mean I changed my name to Lisp MacErlang for nothing??

But seriously, the Startup School application is basically just a list of keywords, at least the way I understood it. Are there really people writing essays in there?


That's not the way I understood it. You can't sell your idea, or your team, with a list of keywords.

(Anybody who actually got accepted want to back me up? :-) )


We're talking about startup school, not funding.


Oh... sorry, good point. :-)
