The Daily Collegian published an article today regarding the PSU Y Combinator startups - Weebly and Xobni. It’s good background on some of the details regarding the founding of Weebly. In it, Xobni co-founder Matt Brezina makes the following statement:

“You don’t get exposed to [startups] enough at Penn State,” he said. “You think you’re going to be working at Lockheed Martin, while, if you’re at Stanford, you do a summer internship at YouTube.”

Good point and precisely one that we’re working to remedy with the Lion Launch Pad.

The last quote from Weebly co-founder Dan Veltri (”Don’t get stuck in the status quo.”) was good advice, as well. Always be searching for ways to change the status quo and innovate.
