ABOVE THE FOLD #12

1. Take a gap year and get $100k to go after an idea

3. The company selling luxury products at 90% off

4. Create the next best mask, win $1M

5. Request for startup: an app to revive acquaintanceship

In case you missed it: this little man is a king.

Opportunity of the week: someone I know is putting together a bid to purchase this 155-acre college campus that's up for auction next month. His vision is to "unbundle" college such that it's priced based on what 18-22 year olds actually want/pay for today. This means: dorms, dining halls, networking, speakers, intramurals. But instead of a standard 4-yr degree that'll set you back $250k, students enroll in an online degree or certification program. For example, this Computer Science program that gets you a certificate from Harvard for $162. Other than that, residents get the best parts of the college experience for a fraction of the cost.

If this project resonates or someone you know would like to get involved, let me know and I'll connect you!
