Are these guys planning on getting an age discrimination lawsuit and then getting a bailout from old white guys?

Hey HN -- today we launched Contrary Talent.

We created it because even if you go to an incredible school like Stanford, only 5% or 10% of the talented people out there go to the same school as you.

By building a network across dozens of universities, we can 10x the college experience.

Members of Contrary Talent plug into our network of backers (including the founders of Tesla, Reddit, SoFi, and many more great companies) for mentorship, get fast-tracked into cool startup jobs, and we'll fund companies members start or join.

Basically, we're trying to productize being a valley insider, and bring that to every top-tier builder.
