So, while I\u2019ll be alienating the gen pop, at least I\u2019ll be making one best friend<\/i><\/b> outta this blog post. 6,000 views. 200 people that really read it. 20 Stanford undergrads who put pen to paper. One or two best friends. <\/div>\n
Goal: To get you to see White Plaza for what it is. An API to get $20,000 to $150,000,000 in working capital. <\/div>\n

NOTE: If you\u2019re a student athlete, you\u2019re gonna have to do what Tom Brady did and do work under your hacker name. His is Satoshi Nakamoto. Mine is #PoundLarryChiang because I quit my mentor before he could quit me. <\/div>\n

All of financial life starts with a $300 credit line against your social security number. This is \u201cWhat They Don\u2019t Teach You at Stanford Business School But Do Teach You In Engineering\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

\nWhite Plaza. Hack number FOUR <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n


\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Drew Brees took GSB classes in 2005<\/span><\/div>\n
Brady took classes in Boston 2007, 2007 and beyond. <\/span><\/div>\n
Bitcoin handed out no equity and no cofounder credits. <\/span><\/div>\n
Whether I\u2019m a cofounder of SSE labs used to be in dispute, but when you grant cofounder status to someone at StartX who was not at SSE labs, that automatically commutes the SSE Labs core team into cofounder of Start status. <\/span><\/div>\n
Thank me via postal mail for having to dredge thru 5074 tweets to bring you this truth<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
