Hmmm... sounds shady... $998, only ten participants, and they imply that one of the reasons the fee is that high is because they spent it on advertising?

One of the speakers founded rentoid.com - which seems pretty cool at first glance. The other apparently founded a startup that sells ideas for $423.

Actually I'm sure they're legit, but it's a ripoff compared to the real Startup School. Even if I lived in Australia, I'd still pay for a ticket and fly to California.

UI looks like 37signals home page

Same name but not the same concept.
