As I wrote my comment I realised that I would probably aim at higher, Ivy League.
I agree that many universities are burdened by poor financial, and also organizational, structures. I have personally seen this when I was a regular guest lecturer at lower league universities in the UK (about social media) in 2009-2010. Indeed, they didn’t inspire. Usually the only inspired students were the bright cookies who went out and ahead and whose drive for knowledge was never ending.
After having gathered an own track record in the world of startups, I actually became an almost full-time mentor to startups. With better mentors, we probably wouldn’t have blown the $12m VC on our largest venture in 2012. If only somebody had told me about lean methodology. 🤷♂️
