I’ve been a big fan of Jason Calacanis since he educates the public about the startup world for free through tweets, blogs, and podcasts. Remember that the startups and investors that funded them were a big mystery before the likes of Jason and others started publishing. Best part of Jason is that he talks like the rest of us and isn’t caught up in what I imagine a wildly successful investment record could do to an ego.
Jason’s work is aligned with my personal passion project Startup Study Group (SSG) which brings together my personal interest in entrepreneurship education for masses. I want to empower people to build a better future for us all rather than feeling victimized by the system. Entrepreneurs create great tech (how did we ever live before the iPhone?) and equally/more important are the new jobs which people depend on for survival.
Jason’s one of the teachers bringing this education to masses for free so I’m more than happy to support all his effort.
SSG doesn’t make money now but possibly in future. That’s not what’s important. Some members who get it, love it. One member is in Africa and just lurking and learning then was able to raise $500k for his startup. SSG is like the big dream of Jobs and Gates who wanted to put power of mainframe on every desk. I want to put the equivalent/better Stanford CS/MBA & YC in front of everyone — for free.
As a big fan, I want to help him get 1000 book reviews. If interested, please email me at my personal email charles@startupstudygroup.com or better, join us at SSG! Apply to join https://www.kanvz.com/ssgslack/canvas/1499192484561
Thank you in advance!
