My favorite on-going entrepreneurship story is Craig’sList

2011. At the sxsw Angel List party co-hosted by Silverton Partners and featuring Craig Newmark
Paul Graham featured Craig in PG’s best startup advice keynote
So, let us, me and you, do a pop up internship. It’s where we as engineers practice. It is where CS majors and me build distribution skills, communication skills all under the engineering skill subroutine: #DTTDSBHM

MOMENTUM (DTTDSBHM — u see what I did there? I made a subroutine to get you to build your GitHub resume by doing the toughest work: “Distribution”

Who am I, Larry Chiang.
I’m the guy who thinks you should get
– 3 legendary internships*
– one study abroad
– 5 pop up internships*
– maybe co-term
* ONE OF THE INTERNSHIPS AS CS MAJOR SHOULD BE DOING STRAIT SALES (also known as distribution). Selling as a CS major is like a Jedi in Business Admin ( See #csMajorCEO #CSmajorCRO)
Tweeting one tweet and drinking a Fanta at evvia 1:50TUES = Pop Up Internship #3. The one tweet needs to be “@larrychiang”. The Tues Evvia at 1:50 pm needs to confirmed three hour prior via a text message to my cell. I am CEO of Duck9.
Getting an Internship the Entrepreneurial Way 2014 is just like 2009 except people are more A.D.D.








Duck9 is a credit score prep program that is like a Kaplan or Princeton Review test preparation service. We don't teach beating the SAT, but we do get you to a higher credit FICO score using secret methods that have gotten us on TV, Congress and newspaper articles. Say hi or check out some of our free resources before you pay for a thing. You can also text the CEO:
