As someone who went through DreamIt ('09) and is now co-director of my school's entrepreneurship network (Penn State), I think this post ingeniously makes an interesting point.
My experience with DreamIt was excellent and life-changing. It's what really opened my eyes to real entrepreneurship: getting stuff done and shipping.
At Penn State there is definitely plenty of room for improvement and I look at programs like DreamIt as inspiration for what budding young entrepreneurs need to get going.
I'm thoroughly confused by the links in the post. Could you explain?
Stanford-GSB -> YCombinator
MIT-Sloan -> TechStars
Harvard-HBS -> Founder Institute
Berkley-Haas -> Seedcamp
Dartmouth-Tuck -> DreamIt Ventures
Since there doesn't seem to be any geographical relationship (apart from GSB/YC), I'm left to assume the post was meant to be entirely tongue-in-cheek. Am I missing something?
