Discover “It” Credit Card for Undergrad Students<\/p>\n

By Larry Chiang<\/p>\n

The old way to be an entrepreneur as an undergrad was to put business expenses on your credit card and be in debt.<\/p>\n

The new way is no debt<\/p>\n

The new way is to get cash back and points from our startups expenses WHILE NEVER PAYING INTEREST. It leverages Discover card’s grace period.<\/p>\n

The new way is to hack up a FICO score up over 700 as an undergrad. As a VC I recommend that you self-fund your student startup.<\/p>\n

The Stanford entrepreneurship concepts I advocate: “Lemonade and Gua Gua Guacamole”. I teach this under ENGR 145. It’s tech entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n

My concepts move you to the right on the entrepreneur bell curve<\/p>\n
