On: Yale Fights to Keep Student Start-Ups From Defecting to Silicon Valley

[menloparkbum]

Isn't Yale where you go when you can't be bothered to start a company, because you're inheriting one from your family?

Emmett and Justin of Justin.TV went there.

Additionally, off the top of my head, Joel Spolsky and Olin Shivers.

Boolah boolah.

Joel went to Penn, didn't he?

[emmett → Shooter]

From his webpage:

    I came back to the US for college, where I attended the 
    University of Pennsylvania for one year, then transferred 
    to Yale, where I got a BS in Computer Science.

So yes, but mostly Yale.

Thanks. I should have checked his site. I just remembered his name from an alumni thing at Penn.

VideoEgg and LicketyShip were started by Yalies.

Ahhh, how I love misconceptions and prejudices..sigh!

Sadly, I dropped out of community college so my concept of Yale is formed by Mr. Burns of the Simpsons. My apologies for the bad joke. Besides, heirs and heiresses skip college and go straight to reality TV these days.

You do realize that most of the writers for the Simpsons went to Harvard...
