lukeskurman··on Ask PG: Why not take YC public like Berkshire Hathaway?
Does Y Combinator ever invest in the follow-on rounds of companies that have gone through its program? If not, why not? It would seem a logical easy place to own an even greater share of their most promising companies...
lukeskurman··on Carnegie Mellon creates fund to invest in its recent graduates
I can assure you that this fund will be an awesome opportunity for recent grads.

Over the past three years, I've served on the University's Board of Trustees as its first ever Young Alumni Trustee. I spoke to Jonathan Kaplan and Rick McCullough (vp of research for cmu). I will personally be very involved in making sure it's maximizing it's potential. Everybody has a clear vision on this initiative.

I was born in nyc and grew up in sf and never left Pittsburgh since attending CMU as a freshman in 1998. I started running my company, College Prowler, full-time, the day after graduating with my bachelors in 2002.

Pittsburgh is HOT right now. And, I can assure you that Carnegie Mellon has more momentum than ever before.

Feel free to reach out to me with ideas, thoughts, questions - Luke @ collegeprowler.com.
