PG: Skip the entrepreneurship courses. Teach founders to build things
Paul Graham argues universities already nail the hardest part of startups — product — by teaching CS and engineering, so a dedicated founder curriculum is the wrong fix. The only two shifts needed: make starting feel possible, and push students to work on their own projects. Evidence from his YC data: Microsoft and Meta each launched during Harvard's reading period, not in some "How to Start a Startup" class. Stanford era, being taught to build beats being taught to pitch.
