(This math is pretty surprising but, yep, contingent on doing YC and making median progress by Demo Day you’d be able to raise approximately the same as my expected lifetime earnings as of graduation in 2004. Which is, as stated, pretty wild.)https://twitter.com/lpolovets/status/1104861189371158528 …

(You don’t keep the money, naturally; it’s been entrusted to the company you founded to spend wisely in the hope of creating a venture-scale return for all concerned. Still wild.)

If I was advising a CS student with approximately my 2004 life plan (“Get a nice stable job at BigCo.”) graduating in 2019 I’d bump up my estimate of their lifetime earnings by approximately 5x to 8x, more if (unlike myself at that age, but plausibly) they get AppAmaGooBookSoft.

Pay CS grads/PhDs $2500/month, help them find a cofounder and what to work on, and IF they have a company within 6 months invest in those. So far in particular interesting in countries where startups are culturally seen as less hot as a career. Thought you’d find it interesting!

Even with the salary expectations you describe, CS grads are massively undervalued. What a time to be a computer scientist!

That’s quite clever. (I concur that many engineers are undervalued at basically all prices presently contemplated for them.)
