Love me some Y Combinator but many of their companies do fail. They're typically a seed stage accelerator.

Will look into this though! Thanks

I can code. Love the biz side of things as well.
What's your idea?

Note that YC among many others say pretty openly that basically no one will bother to steal your idea before you've found any success with it.

Hi bizzies.

I am a VP level employee at an edu-tech marketplace. This concept/company is honestly a joke. Not to say you won't potentially make money from this ICO... buuut I can tell you that there are DEFINITELY valid use cases in the education industry for blockchain, and this is absolutely not one of them.

This is literally just "Shit company using blockchain as a gimmick to raise millions without being beholden to anyone".

I would avoid, personally. If you get in, jump out as soon as you see a profit. Also I've never even fucking heard of these people, and this space is VERY difficult to break through in. There are tons of players, especially in online - they think being on the blockchain is an advantage vs. Udemy, Coursera, Skillshare? Nope. Literally meaningless.

They will disappear for-fucking-ever eventually, I promise you that.

Also, I work directly with educators from sole proprietor's to large universities, feel free to AMA about the industry/space.

What do you think of Jordan Peterson's self authoring program and the plans he's mentioned about creating a vast online resource of courses and instructors for the humanities?

From a business perspective of course. You can say what you think of it ethically as well, if you want.

If it makes you a lot of money please send 1%:

Basically a blockchain for storing university grades anonymously. Start a foundation and shill it to unis all over the world, at least a dozen will agree to participate just to score points.

Market is as an anti-discrimination measure by saying grades can be audited and used to publicly determine if universities are intentionally giving women/minorities bad grades. Universal credit system can be used on the blockchain with some basic AI to allow for people to switch universities easily by having the AI look at all the grades across different subjects instead of just a simple GPA. E.g. I did well in Chem and physics but failed bio but I should be able to get into materials engineering.

It would be a secure, fraud/tamper resistant way to prove your grades to businesses using your private key. (Many people commit grade fraud.)

I’ll post an email tmrw using this trip code if anyone wants to work on this with me. I have 10k of seed capital and a lot of ideas so it’d be better to have me on your team. I just want a small cut of the millions you’ll make.

I actually hadn't even heard of this before you mentioned it, desu. Looks a bit scammy on a brief pass, the marketing alone is not normal for tried and true educators who typically don't know their foot from their ass when it comes to marketing/building websites. When you do see companies that have the marketing side together (General Assembly is a good example), they aren't as fucking cryptic as this guy. I can't even tell what he's selling...

Oh also, it's funny to me that these dudes (the ICO) compare themselves to Lynda, who got bought by LinkedIn for an absurd $1B a year or two ago and have since been a fucking BAG that LinkedIn is holding. Their whole plan was to move into credentialing which would be relevant to recruiters, then they realized that they were in WAY over their heads and have all but abandoned Lynda support. These fuckers don't even know the industry they just raised $4MM to get into. Amazing. I'm actually angry about this, I don't like people dicking around in the ed space.

Upcoin gives you 500$ (in trading fees) and Legitcoin will give you 10$ in tokens. Legitcoin is a very controlled distributed coin(a manipulated coin). Can't say anything good about the other two.

Cryptodealer is a typical: sell my products and you get 50% of it because you did the hard job of actually selling it.

They are using the token for governance which imo is a valid use case for a token.

They want to allow people to vote for the content that creators make, kinda meh desu, but whatever.

The good stuff is that they already have a product up and running which is way more than the coins that we see now which are just billion dollar whitepapers. Also they look to be running a strong marketing campaign.

They mixed up the cryptocurrency and AI pictures

>>6503885
They have a real product that you could spend the coins on so it's not a scam. You'd probably be getting it on a discount. I just have no desire to pay for something that I can't test out without giving my credit card.

They don't seem to have anything for free. If they're touting themselves as an advanced learning platform - with apparently 15% of their funds paying for people to create premium lessons - I don't get why I can't see beginner projects for free.

I feel like if Paul Graham were looking at this, he'd tell them to make the first half of at least some of their projects free.

>>6503925
Not him, but it sounds great. He has a pretty massive reach right now, team of 4 PhD's , and seems sincere.

It's just that there are only 4 programs right now (with at least some divided) and they're all behind a pay wall.

Successful self help projects seems to do a lot of content marketing to promote their paid stuff

Even the personality test at https://understandmyself.com/ is paid.
Maybe I'm a biased jew, but this just seems to be how the ecosystem works. I'm sure it appeals to his fans regardless.

It seems like a terrible idea to me but, again to reference YC proverbs - all of the best ideas seem like shit initially (or else they'd already be done)

Maybe give this a watch

I don't think that would even require AI btw. Just a regular algorithm that pegs classes to eachother.
