Ask HN: How worthwhile is Startup School? Fortunately I was accepted for startup school. As I am based in Australia however it will not be a cheap/quick affair to attend so I am wanting to reassure myself that its a worthwhile expedition. Can those who have been before enlighten me as to what I can expect and whether or not it is worth the trip (approx $3)? My big fear is that I go to find the content is fairly general and a more encouragement/pep talk style rather than content-rich information that is useful to moving forward. No doubt it will be an awesome event but just a little more detail would help convince me to come! My only hesitation is I may be better saving it and coming over for SXSW instead... or maybe I should just do both. What would your preference between the two be? Also if I do head over I will likely come for just over a week. Any other events on around that time or anyone keen to meet up would be great! |
