Startup Accelerator

  • The idea of doing something like a startup accelerator that even ordinary people can do.

  • The reason why social problems are not being solved is not because the problems are difficult, but because smart people are not working on them.

  • Smart people are busy creating filters for Snapchat (to put it in simple terms).

  • I want to do a larger version of the PayPal Mafia.

  • I’m a little worried because I only talk about vague things.

  • There are a lot of stories like “I’ve grown a lot” or “the community is amazing,” but there are no specific details.

  • They say they created their own service, but isn’t Slack or Facebook enough?

  • I don’t understand the significance of putting a lot of effort into creating things like chat or feed.

  • Benefits of participating:

    • Strong community
      • Can propose discussion meetings to other students
      • There is a feed
    • There are various MOOC-like resources, although it seems like they choose buzzwords.
    • Can search for resources written by people in the community.
  • Actually, I feel like a foundation should be doing this.

    • It’s overwhelming for one person, so it would be better to strengthen community involvement.
