Tech start-up this summer, anyone?

This Summer Founders Program is a cool VC incubator opportunity for college students this summer... I want to put a team together, any dopers interested? It's something to do this summer, eh?

If I was still in college, I might give it a try, but I've got a ="real job" now.

(ps: avoid getting a "real job" if you can! It's evil!)

For anyone interested, there is now a mailing list at Yahoo Groups; to subscribe just email summerfounders-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.

There is also a slashdot article about this program.

If you get serious, I've built several successful software startups (two of them sold for $180m each). In the process, I've presented to tons of VCs and raised money several times. I know this game. If you'd like to bounce plans off me, I'm happy to give you my thoughts. Just drop me an email.
