I work for the Internet, at @stripe, mostly on accelerating startups. Opinions here are my own.

    “Would you rather run a business at the frontier or read a case study about someone who did?” is a pretty compelling pitch, for good reasons.https://twitter.com/KyleTibbitts/status/1183087422801760256 …

    Underappreciated phenomenon: Working at a high-growth, margin-focused startup is a real-life MBA where you get paid six figures plus equity to learn how to build a business instead of paying six figures and going into debt to learn how to build a theoretical one.

        I like that you shared this because when I wrote the tweet I was thinking about companies exactly like @stripe.

        One of the reasons my 2 years at Greylock (not in any material role) was so useful. Got paid to get a startup-focused MBA, and then some. (Their education budget for Harrison Metal GM class with @mcgd really helped, too!)

        You can never become a good swimmer just by watching or reading about how others swim😂

        Even worse than that. With an MBA, you're listening to a non-swimmer teach you how to swim, based on their experience watching a famous swimming race from years ago.

        I would be interested in seeing outcome comparison between people doing MBAs and people funding startups

        Not MBA is a great option for people with high conviction about which business to go build. But the comparison in the tweet is bad because it’s case studies on 20 businesses a week for 2 years vs operating a single business. Depth =/= breadth!

        A lot of the people this appeals to never seem to ask "the frontier of what?"
