3,901	3,891	pg	How many summer Y Combinator fundees decided not to continue with their startup and go back to school? and what were the reasons?	sharpshoot	Going back to school is not identical with giving up. Some founders go back to school and keep working on the startup while there. However, those do so much worse than the people who work on the startup full-time that going back to school seems, in practice, not too far removed from a death sentence for a startup.Off ...	null	0	15	2007-03-13 16:25:46 UTC

I'm only 24 and still in school as of the moment, yet I'm more than willing to leave school in order to initiate my start up.
