“the Teal Fellowship uh doesn't try to teach you anything. It just selects you. And so it shows you the degree to which the schools are not selecting. You know, they're getting nowhere near a 5% unicorn rate coming out of the schools. But teal, you know, given the abundance of big data that's out there, the Teal Fellowship can just be a better selection and application process that covers topics like are you self-motivated, are you high energy, can you recruit, do are do you think through these AI topics”
