Career Resources
I'd rather debate about my choice in this thread than try to get into any of them.
Y-combinator because youll have a way bigger chance of succeeding with your startup or at least raising more capital. The exit opps would be VC/other startup or a top b-school. Also you'll make great quality connections while at YC or any other startup incubator.
Y-combinator.
TechStars, I met one of their Managing Directors, seemed like a really smart guy but I didn't get the vibe that the program was for me. HBS, yes I'll apply, but I don't view the MBA as my ultimate credential per se.
"Startups incubators are battling top business schools across the country for talent..."
why not just recruit out of the top business schools? does 2 years really make a huge difference?
Are you an entrepreneur or a management professional?
Plus I highly doubt the incubators are really competing with business schools for the same talent. Consultants, bankers, Teach for America, non-profit, "leadership types" are just about the least likely people to succeed at an incubator.
