Stanford dropout returns to teach open-source startup class
Nine years ago, Sam Altman was a Stanford University computer science student. And then he dropped out to start a startup.
This year, he's returned to campus -- not to finish his degree, but to teach a class called "How to Start a Startup."
Altman, whose mobile location startup Loopt eventually sold for a cool $43.4 million, is now 29 years old and the president of Y Combinator, an accelerator that provides seed funding and guidance to fledgling startups. He launched the class to make the wealth of knowledge Y Combinator gives to a select group of startups more publicly available -- not only by giving it to a class of 300 Stanford students but to everyone.
