If you’re from a tier two CS school like U of I, you probably get MBAs asking you to be their biatch. It’s aka unpaid-in-cash intern w\/1\/4 of 1% stock tiered over 4 years.<\/div>\n

Me and the Palo Alto’s Community’s College ain’t down with working for less than $12.5k\/month, a tesla and maybe some series FF stock. It is a li’l bit of sticker shock, yes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
But as I taught in “ENGR 145” at Stanford, an existing team of 3 CS majors can sell more baseball shoes than Derek Jeter. If you’re not American, these are called “cleates”. If you’re Indian American, it is the cautionary Silicon Valley tale called ePinions<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Your conclusion? There must be an API that boils down (engineering pun intended PV=nRT) So, lets introduce you to CS 183X.<\/div>\n

Who’ll be the third VC to teach the last of the “CS 183” trilogy??\u00a0#CS183<\/a>\u00a0#CS183B<\/a>,\u00a0#CS183X<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n


So CS 183 is and was a class called “Startup”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

(Free)<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
CS 183B is a class called “How to Start a Startup”<\/span><\/div>\n
(Again free)<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
CS 183X is a lab where we can’t fail and set the CS183B-bell-curve. 20 of 63,030 will be on the right side.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
(Again, f-r-e-e)<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
So…

It’s\u00a0#CS183X<\/a>
\nSo secret…,
\nIt doesn’t exist\u00a0pic.twitter.com\/RqmhfpUZkP<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

CS 183X’s more of a secret society than it is a class. Instead of a quarter, it lasts 5 quarters. I repeat, five quarters. CS 183x incorporates real Stanford classes, real student conferences, online videos of legendary Stanford keynotes, real summer internships, pop-up internships, self-study. It is engineered to never fail.<\/p>\n

Back in 2015, the startup community could be summed up as the VC, Reid Hoffman’s fight against gravity:<\/p>\n

“A startup is like jumping off a cliff and building the plane on the way down”
\n— Reid Hoffman****<\/p>\n

****What Mr Hoffman fails to consciously competence-itialize is that he had 3 Founders Fund VCs be his “non employee co-founders”***<\/p>\n

***Citation is Reid Hoffman’s Startup School speech, 2008. He stated, “Me, Peter, Luke and Max brainstormed. We came up with LinkedIn.” Then PayPal started to work**<\/p>\n

**PayPal people are notorious for being “non employee co-founders”. It directly parallels “Selfie, no-self”* I mean when Peter Thiel co-founded Palantir, do you think he cozied up on a bean bag with Joe Lonsdale and coded?!<\/p>\n

* Selfie, no self<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
See how the energy of the picture is high because they’re standing next to a live supermodel in-the-flesh? Then I crop myself out. Thus, now you understand what it’s like to have a VC be your non-employee co-founder.<\/p>\n

In short, CS 183X is the 5 quarter process of making gravity work for us. CS 183x is where the pressure of succeeding is removed. Think in terms of a co-term. I mean it’s a one year masters degree. And if three Stanford athletes can co-term while they play a varsity sport called “Basketball”, and co-captain, you will know that it’s risk free. (see my risk Jedi in Business Admin. under the public firehose #RMRMRE). In summary, CS 183x is like starting college with 24 As. In conclusion, CS 183X parallels my Duck9 business that gets you a 99th percentile FICO score. It’s where the first 24 interactions with the FICO score credit grid are perfect.<\/p>\n

“CS183x is to entrepreneurship success like your first 24 interactions with the FICO score credit grid. Executed flawlessly and perfect. Easy transparent and clear”<\/p>\n

Well my padawan, this is CS 183x:<\/p>\n

It starts…
\n– one Saturday the second Saturday of October at De Anza Comm College. It’s YCs startup school.<\/p>\n

– CS 183x is all about the first 17 steps. I pattern recognize that the supermajority of entrepreneurship content is startup management. Not startup starting. CS 183 was theory. CS 183b kinda experienced… “#NoFocusOnFirst17Steps”<\/p>\n
