问HN:有没有与全日制MBA学生共同创办的科技初创公司?

在我的最佳创业想法经历了一些波折之后(ChatGPT,以及我的联合创始人分别决定退出这场竞争),我开始寻找那些拥有好点子并准备快速原型开发和筹款的商业联合创始人。 目前,有两位潜在的联合创始人正在知名商学院和类似项目中学习。 到目前为止,我对此的一些思考: * 好处——他们通过学校获得培训和指导,这在某种程度上有助于孵化创业项目。 * 坏处——即使你确信他们在毕业后想追求这个创业项目,学校仍然是他们的优先事项。在他们不投入时间的情况下,你要么处于等待状态,要么全职投入到项目建设中,而他们不会很快准备好开始筹款。此外,如果这一阶段对他们的MBA贡献更大而不是对共享创业项目,那么这种动态就显得有些不平衡或不匹配。 现在我感到一些个人的时间压力,我听说的一个想法是找一份临时工作,同时在晚上和周末继续创业。但这与我的工作方式不兼容,我全身心投入到我所在公司的项目和团队中。我会从整体上考虑一家公司,任何闲暇时间都是为了保持在这家公司上的进度。(这不仅仅是面试时的说辞,而是我似乎天生如此,无论好坏。) 因此,我决定在一家现有公司中找到合适的角色。包括我之前担任过的一个角色,在这个角色中,我的思维和运作方式更像是技术联合创始人,但从一开始,钱就神奇地出现在我的银行账户里。 我仍然很好奇,是否有人愿意分享与仍在商学院的联合创始人合作的经验和想法。 例如,是否总是依赖于拥有足够的个人时间(或兼职工作),直到双方都认为时机合适,能够快速执行和筹款? 再比如,有没有人遇到过这样的情况:学生需要至少走过创业的形式以满足MBA项目的要求,但毕业后却想做其他事情?

After some disruption to my best startup idea (ChatGPT, and co-founder separately deciding they were done with the rat race), I started looking for business cofounders who had good ideas, and who were ready to prototype and fundraise rapidly.<p>Two of the prospective co-founders are currently in well-regarded B-school and similar programs.<p>Some of my thinking about this thus far:<p>* Good -- They&#x27;re getting training and coaching through school, which in some ways is helping incubate the startup.<p>* Bad -- Even if you&#x27;re sure they want to pursue this startup after graduation, school is taking priority for them, you&#x27;re either in a holding pattern or working full-time on building when they&#x27;re not, and they won&#x27;t be ready to start working on fundraising anytime soon. Also, the dynamic is a bit imbalanced or mismatched, if this period is contributing more towards their MBA than to the shared startup.<p>Now feeling some personal runway pressure, one idea I&#x27;ve heard is to get an interim job, while working on the startup on evenings&#x2F;weekends. But that&#x27;s not compatible with how I work, fully committed to the company&#x2F;project&#x2F;team where I&#x27;m working. I will be thinking holistically of one company, and any spare time is R&amp;R to keep up the pace on that one company. (That&#x27;s not just interview-speak, but how I seem to be wired, for better or worse.)<p>So I&#x27;ve decided to find the right role in an existing company. Including a role I&#x27;ve had before, in which I&#x27;m thinking and operating much like a technical cofounder, but money magically appears in my bank account from the start.<p>I&#x27;m still curious what experiences and thoughts people have had with cofounders who were still in B-school, if anyone would like to share.<p>For example, does it always rely on having enough personal runway (or moonlighting) until the timing is mutually good to start executing and fundraising rapidly?<p>For another example, anyone encountered a situation in which the student needed to at least go through the motions of startup for an MBA program, but then wanted to do something else upon graduation?
