Masters Union, an Indian college, pays students tens of thousands of dollars to drop out for three months and build a startup. If the business fails, they can return and finish their degree. The college takes a small equity stake, betting on founders instead of tuition.
I found the first college in the world that pays you to drop out of college. Ha! The idea is genius. Apply to this college with a startup idea. If they like it, they give you tens of thousands of dollars for a small part of your company and make you drop out for 3 months to build it. If you succeed, the college succeeds. And if you don't succeed, come back to college and get a degree. Degree. It's called DropOut Fund by Masters Union, a college here in India open for anyone in the world to apply and build a startup. Check this out, on a random Saturday, everybody is presenting their startup here. Do you have a startup? Yes. Do you have a startup? Do you have a startup? My startup does AI films. Our startup turns documents into videos.
My startup is a superfood like this, which has 50 grams of protein.
And many of them are funded by the college. This This is like Y Combinator in a college.
You know what they say, the best way to learn is by doing.
And you're all doing. Super cool. Every college should do this. Give you money to build instead of taking your money to sit in a lecture. In the future, the most successful students don't even need to graduate.
Yeah! Thank you, everybody!
