You guys are pretty fast. I managed to get the newly rewritten application form onto the server this morning, but then I was busy all day talking to startups about their Demo Day presentations. I'm going to try to get the startupschool.org site updated this evening.
One of my favorite secret tools: http://www.changedetection.com/ let's you track pages, and emails you once they change. Not sure what their revenue model is, but it's let me get in first on many occasions. Very handy.
I'm feeling the urge to apply. I'm 49 years old, but a big believer in lifelong education. I also feel the urge to mention hammers in the "what tools do you like" box.
OK, a 20-something with less life experience may benefit more from the event than a 40-something, and be more likely to actually do a startup (having generally fewer commitments etc.), but hopefully they won't use age to rule people out if they have a technical background and genuine desire to do a startup even later in life.
Just submitted.. hope I get in! This is the first year I'm out of school and can actually fly out for something like this, and now that I'm right in the middle of my startup journey, it would make more sense than ever.
How long will the application be open? (This might sound like a redundant question but I was going to ask some friends to apply that I can't contact immediately)
