    A great thread about how Codecademy survived its early mistakes. If you are a recent graduate of an elite university, these are the mistakes you're going to make.https://twitter.com/zsims/status/1364252946834223108 …

    zach sims @zsims
    For @Codecademy's first 4yrs, we were in the 📰 every wk. Those weeks, we made $0. The past 4 years, we've been out of the headlines. Now, we've raised $40m, our first raise in ~4yrs. How'd we go from the center of the hype cycle to the brink of bankruptcy and back? Read on...

        Most people consider YC an elite institution - what is it that YC teaches founders that elite universities can’t (or don’t) teach grads?

        Elite = Prestige; Prestige has nothing to do w/ teaching; It’s always only about exclusion of others from the elite group, and the principles of exclusion, not inclusion.
