I have been part of this startup ecosystem for some time now in different personas: investor, employee, and founder. I am starting to see a new trend where many people have started schools to churn a startup.
The journey of starting a startup is different than getting an educational degree. I wonder why are we again thrown on a template of building a startup? Is it because we are selling the mantra: starting a startup is the best way to get rich quickly?
A lot many successful founders I have met personally told money/glory was the byproduct. Starting a startup was more of an itch to prove ourselves, solving a problem, working closely with friends and like-minded people.
No two founders are the same, nor are their journeys. Why do they all have to go through formal teaching of how to run their business?
Putting lipstick on a pig will be not of any help.
