Good Internet companies are education companies

In my undergraduate years, a person using Alibaba, Baidu and Tencent products of the proportion of the time determines what he is a student. Because these three represent three different kinds of information needs: shopping, information and entertainment social.

To participate in this Baidu big talk, I suddenly thought of myself in Baidu Library, Baidu know and Baidu Bar to switch between the days.

Education is the DNA of an internet company.

Since the beginning of last year, big talk once a month, this time came to Mountain View Computer History Museum is the seventh issue. Tencent also has a similar event--we Congress, held once a year. But because big talk resident in Beijing, plus Baidu hundreds of huge traffic, in the media circle of greater influence.

Nicholas Negroponte, Alex Pentland, and Chris Anderson, the voices that were previously heard at TED, came to the Chinese audience, stimulating media discussions. In the Chinese Internet, which often dominates the headlines, such an activity can be a fresh breeze even if someone criticizes a PR component.

This time around 120 media people came to Silicon Valley, in addition to the final finale of Big talk, but also visited the U.S. Institute of Baidu. Andrew Ng, the head of the US Institute and chief scientist of Baidu, was the CEO of Coursera, an associate professor at Stanford University and an online education company.

Education and the Internet are often associated, not least because the Internet's cutting-edge technologies and ideals are often conceived in universities. And when these technologies and ideals are realized, internet companies and their founders are often happy to share their knowledge and insights.

Companies like Baidu, like Microsoft, have extravagantly in basic research, and in some ways have moved the university's functions to business. In the future, to the Internet companies to read a degree is not a distant dream.

Even if you just look at the present, whether it is the four major portals of the past, or today's bat, is to train entrepreneurs in the greenhouse. Whether blessed or cursed, these entrepreneurs are using their experience as a major corporate recipient to create the next wave of prosperity in the Internet.

Welcome to the University of Entrepreneurship

This time big talk in Silicon Valley, 120 media people in UC Berkeley and Stanford to listen to Professor Daniel Kammen and Walter Greenleaf Professor of public lectures. These courses are not open to many media people, but they are certainly not unfamiliar to the long-term readers of 36 krypton. So in the interval between the two classes, I snuck out of the team.

On a bench outside the Stanford School of Geosciences, I met a former colleague of 36 Krypton. She joined a start-up company two years after working on Krypton 36 and is currently hatching at YC. I told her, "I should have worked harder when I knew the environment was so good." I still remember the name, Sep, and SRB of the two research groups that I was fascinated with five years ago in the building in front of me.

"In fact, do not regret, you will find that Stanford students are open to entrepreneurship, the future is probably going to venture, the same way"

She smiled and told me.

Yes, 36 Krypton is like a college with a startup. Here you serve entrepreneurs, close to investors, and listen to the voice of product managers and programmers. Most of the time they are your teacher and your source of information, and there is a small part of the time you are in the same place.

Even from scratch, after 10,000 hours of training at 36 Krypton, you will become familiar with this industry rule and have a great insight into a vertical field. After that, as for leaving 36 Krypton to start a business, invest and post management, or stay to manage the team, iterate over the media products, all the freedom as you wish.
