Чем занимается Make School

Make School is redesigning college for the 21st century. Our bachelor's degree program combines liberal arts, computer science theory, software development, and character development with an emphasis on preparing students for successful careers as software engineers, product managers, or entrepreneurs. Our alumni work at Facebook, Google, Apple, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Lyft and more. Our college is accessible to students of all backgrounds, 40% are underrepresented minority students and 50% come from low income families. Students pay tuition as a percentage of earnings once they are employed, directly aligning their incentives with ours. Make School is funded by Learn Capital, Y Combinator, Mitch Kapor, Alexis Ohanian, Tim Draper and others.

Redesigning college for the 21st century

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a bachelor's degree program that combines liberal arts, computer science theory, software development, and character development. It prepares students from diverse backgrounds to become software engineers, product managers, or entrepreneurs, with tuition paid as a percentage of their earnings after they get jobs.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We are based in San Francisco, CA, and we plan to continue building the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our team and core users are. It's the center of the tech industry and startup ecosystem, which is critical for placing our students in real jobs.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Это реальная заявка Make School в YC?

Нет. Y Combinator держит поданные заявки в приватности. Это реконструкция: реальные вопросы формы YC, ответы на которые основаны на публичных данных Make School (заметки о запуске, бэкграунд фаундеров, описание продукта). Это показывает, как компания вроде Make School представила бы себя YC, а не текст, который они подали.
