Wait - if you do better at Hacker News you get invited to Startup School?

I know nothing about Startup School, but I didn't think it had anything to do whatsoever with things on Hacker News.



As I remember, it's not your karma score that really matters, but being recognized from here helps when they read applications.

The same effect is obviously true everywhere. Being known by someone on the inside gets you a job more often than not, etc.


If I recall correctly, when I went in 2005, the application requested my reddit username. I had hardly any karma, but a few people, including Steve and Alexis knew me from my comments.
