There is a new entrepreneurship\u00a0class at Stanford, CS 183(B): “How to start a startup”. It is taught by YC president Sam Altman.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here is what to pay attention to, what things mean and how it will turn out.\u00a0At first I wholeheartedly agreed with Steve Blank!<\/div>\n

You don’t learn how to start a company sitting in a classroom listening to guys who made a billion $’s They didn’t\u00a0fortune.com\/2014\/09\/16\/sta\u2026<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

And this view that stresses practice over theory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

@moritzplassnig<\/a>\u00a0@tydanco<\/a>\u00a0learning sex education in a classroom is helpful but you don’t truly learn until you combine theory with practice.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Now, I’m forming a different opinion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Stanford University first taught street smarts in a class* and innovated by inducing execution of entrepreneurship. Previously, entrepreneur education was warehousing ideas, theory, war stories and concepts.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That is what CS 183B is.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It’s an introduction to starting up a startup. CS 183(B) is the series of Tuesday YC dinners.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
*Professor Tom Kosnik’s class stressed “street smarts”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Also, pay attention to the class nomenclature. “CS 183B” implies that there is or was a CS 183A…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
CS 183A is just CS 183. Which is “Startup Engineering” taught by Peter Thiel. Peter Thiel taught CS 183 Spring quarter 2012. There are lecture notes at the hashtag #CS183<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sam Altman’s class #CS183B #CS183(B) has video uploads of the Fall 2014 quarter.\u00a0Download all 19 lectures for free EVEN IF YOU ATTEND MIT<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

“How to Start a Startup” Class #CS183B<\/a> by @sama<\/a> in Fall ’14. All lecture videos will be uploaded to startupclass.samaltman.com<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I am in the camp where I think CS 183B is a good intro class that previews the theory<\/div>\n
\n
The MS&E class “Technology Entrepreneurship”,\u00a0ENGR 145, and the hashtag #ENGR145 has two anchor videos. The videos contain hashtagged subroutines for Stanford students to p-r-a-ct-i-c-e “StartUpery” (Bob Metcalfe’s wprd.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
These business subroutines are signature business recipes ENGINEERED to move\u00a0you to the right on the student-athlete-founder bell curve<\/div>\n

\/1\/ Taking CS 183B at Nvidia TUES thurs 1:05pm -2:00pm. Nvidia is obvi at Huang Engineering Bldng<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\/1b\/ leading a study group for 183B if you go to UT, U of U, U of T, Cal or Urbana. Classes are loaded up at https:\/\/startupclass.samaltman.com<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\/1c\/ Talk, talk until you are blue balls.<\/div>\n

\/3a\/ PQRST-ing ENGR 145 by seeing the Lisa Falzone videos on YouTube<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\/3b\/ Lisa Falzone was a student of Tom Kosnik’s GEM (Global Entrepreneurship Marketing) that as a student-athlete Founder, self studied ENGR145.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\/3c\/ I organized a Lisa Falzone mentorship event where student athletes mentor student athletes. It was at a Student Athlete facility with permission from the previous Athletic Director, Bob Bowlsby<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Her notes are all on YouTube because I held the camera<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
The Stanford cease and desist is my facebook cover page Re February 26, 2013<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
I did not involve the new athletic director Bernard Muir because my asking for permission to have Lisa Falzone, alum, speak to undergrads would be a transfer of risk.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
As a student athlete, I experienced first hand academic and startup opportunity discrimination.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\/3c\/ Seek out Lisa Falzone’s blog posts<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Next step in the Stanford sequence of startup education<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\/4\/ Take ENGR 245<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Does Steve blank teach it?!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\/5\/ Audit or Re-take ENGR 145 this summer by asking Tom Kosnik<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\/6\/ Go back and review ENGR 145 lectures where I had students lecturing during class.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
The videos of student undergrads speaking are on a playlist on YouTube I curated.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\/7\/ review the notes I took that I’ll use to teach in 2060 when I retire from practicing entrepreneurship<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
You see the cardinal red shirts that say “CAL sucks”<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
That is like kicking the retarded kids on the short bus. Stop bullying and support CalEweek [{Cal Entrepreneurship Week} I founded California Entrepreneurship Week #CalEweek at the Stanford Mall]<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
