I've been reading up on startups, which more than anything else has taught me that practically two years of interning at a VC fund has taught me nothing about actually running a startup (not surprising)
A lot of what I've been reading is from this HBS professor's blog post on technology ventures. Typical of business education, it's a lot of high level talk with a bunch of buzz words thrown around (e.g., pivot, lean startup, agile development, customer development, minimum viable product, etc). I wonder though, do the young entrepreneurs who start their venture in their dorm room read up on these things? Or is this just all common sense?
Some food for thought on the value of the actual content of business education. I'm sure the networking alone justifies the tuition of b-school.
