$99 is generally a really good deal for a conference. Only people like Paul Graham can put on stuff like Startup School for free.<p>This was organized by a group of Seattle Hackers who are just trying to do a good thing. No ulterior motive. No goal of profit. No hustle for sponsors. I know the people putting it on-- they are decent chaps... And I know a couple of the speakers (in fact, I might be on a panel).<p>WTF is the point of attacking the event?
Gee, the people from Sevenhourstartup.com are going to be pissed when they hear about this.<p>Six? Seven's the number, man!<p>Sorry, been reading reddit too much. Seriously, it sounds cool, and if I was anywhere near Seattle I'd go.
I'm looking forward to this event. As an entrepreneur just starting out, I'm hoping this event will help me learn more of the basics of running my own company, and help me to understand the day-to-day of the startup world.<p>I've got to say I've learned a lot just reading Hacker News and the articles referenced here, but having in-person events to go to helps a lot.
Sounds like a great event! I think some News.YC users, many attendees of the most recent Startup School, were reacting to the purposely chosen words "Startup School" in the submission title, which begged for a comparison.
This conference sounds awesome. As an efficiency consultant, I can't think of anything better than getting all your business basics taken care of in a single day!
